There's a man I meet
walks up our street
He's a worker for the council...
Has been twenty years
And he takes no lip off nobody..
And litter off the gutter
Puts it in a bag
And never thinks to mutter..

And he packs his lunch
in a "Sunblest" bag
The children call him "bogie"..
He never lets on
But I know 'cause he once told me..
He let me know a secret
about the money in his kitty...
He's gonna buy a dinghy
Gonna call her Dignity...

And I'll sail her up the west coast..
Through villages and towns
I'll be on my holidays
And they'll be doing their rounds..
They'll ask me how I got her
I'll say "I saved my money"
They'll say isn't she pretty
that ship called Dignity...

And I'm telling this story
In a faraway scene...
Sipping down raki
And reading Maynard Keynes
I'm thinking 'bout home
and all that that means
And a place in the winter
for Dignity...

And I'll sail her up the west coast..
Through villages and towns
I'll be on my holidays
And they'll be doing their rounds..
They'll ask me how I got her
I'll say "I saved my money"
They'll say isn't she pretty
that ship called Dignity...

Set it up.. Set it up.. Set it up..
Set it up.. Set it up.. Set it up..
Set it up again.. Set it up again..
Set it up again.. Set it up again..

Set it up.. Set it up.. Set it up..
Set it up.. Set it up.. Set it up..
Set it up again.. Set it up again..
Set it up again.. Set it up again..

And I'm thinking about home...
And I'm thinking about faith...
And I'm thinking about work...
And I'm thinking about how
good it would be
To be here some day...

On a ship called dignity...
A ship called dignity...
That ship....
