[00:46.30] | Billy was born within sight of the shipyard |
[00:51.96] | First son of a riveter's son |
[00:58.54] | And Billy was raised as the ship grew a shadow |
[01:04.45] | Her great hull would blot out the light of the sun |
[01:17.89] | And six days a week he would watch his poor father |
[01:23.36] | A working man live like a slave |
[01:29.67] | He'd drink every night, and he'd dream of a future |
[01:36.33] | Of money he never would save |
[01:42.62] | Billy would cry when he thought of the future |
[01:50.58] | Soon came a day when the bottle was broken |
[01:56.16] | They launched the great ship out to sea |
[02:02.38] | He felt he'd been left on a desolate shore |
[02:08.01] | To a future he desperately wanted to flee |
[02:15.39] | What else was there for a ship-builder's son |
[02:20.77] | A new ship to be built, new work to be done |
[02:27.26] | One day he dreamed of the ship in the world |
[02:36.23] | It would carry his father and he |
[02:42.04] | To a place they would never be found |
[02:48.70] | To a place far away from this town |
[02:54.55] | |
[03:17.65] | Trapped in the cage of the skeleton ship |
[03:23.15] | All the workmen suspended like flies |
[03:30.03] | Caught in the flare of acetylene light |
[03:35.69] | A working man works till the industry dies |
[03:42.38] | And Billy would cry when he thought of the future |
[03:50.24] | Then what they call an industrial accident |
[03:57.07] | Crushed those it couldn't forgive |
[04:02.83] | They brought Billy's father back home in an ambulance |
[04:09.65] | A brass watch, a cheque, maybe three weeks to live |
[04:15.79] | What else was there for a riveter's son |
[04:21.01] | A new ship to be built, new work to be done |
[04:27.08] | That night he dreamed of the ship in the world |
[04:36.78] | It would carry his father and he |
[04:42.55] | To a place they could never be found |
[04:48.71] | To a place far away from this town |
[04:55.64] | A Newcastle ship with no coals |
[05:01.95] | They would sail to the island of souls |
