This project was and still is about the Vindication of Napoleon.
Shipbuilding lyrics
Is it worth it
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
By the women and children
Soon we'll be shipbuilding
Well I ask you
The boy said "Dad, they're going to take me to task
But I'll be back by Christmas"
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people get killed in
The result of this shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyard
And notifying the next of kin
Once again
It's all we're skilled in
We will be shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
Can you spot their fingerprints yet?
He was calling me out for falling for traps when he was one of the parties setting them. I listened to these songs frequently even though they hurt me but I could not have possibly imagined the scope of what was being done to me then. Now it’s just to painful to bear. Just CRUSHING. How could he call me out for what he was doing to me? How can I accept my other half did this to me?
He’s expressing affection for his darker friend or is he holding him down? This is terrible stuff.
