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
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 sea
Sipping down raki
And reading Maynard Keynes
And I'm thinking about 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
They'll be doing the 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"

Stand it up, stand it up, stand it up, stand it up, stand it up, stand it up
Yeah, stand it up again, stand it up again, stand it up again, stand it up again
Stand it up, stand it up, stand it up, stand it up, stand it up, stand it up
Yeah, stand it up again, stand it up again, stand it up again, stand 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 how good it would be
To be here some day

On a ship called Dignity
A ship called Dignity
That ship

Deacon Blue - "Dark End of the Street" / "When Will You Make My Telephone Ring?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLdFqozHOhA "Dark End of the Street" At the dark end of the street That is where we always meet Hiding in shadows where we don't belong Living in darkness, to hide alone You and me, at the dark end of the street You and me I know a time has gonna take it's toll We have to pay for the love we stole It's a sin and we know that it's wrong But oh, darling our love keeps going on strong Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street You and me "When Will You Make My Telephone Ring?" Pale blue eyes Same old house, no ties A little bit older but not so Worldly wise That I can't see Your light's on me Making me regretfully say The wonder of it all was you And underneath it all it wasn't true I want you in everything In everything In anything I do When will you make my 'phone ring And tell me I can't give you anything Anything at all now Tiny steps From ruthless legs When you've been walking so long Now don't you rest From disharmony From disunity From anything that isn't you and me The wonder of it all was you And underneath it all it wasn't true I want you in everything In everything In anything I do When will you make my 'phone ring And tell me I can't give you anything Anything at all now When the daylight all goes around And by chance we're both down town Please meet, and walk on by Oh, darling, please don't you cry You and me, at the dark end of the street You and me Tired of chasing old dreams Tired of wasting days Tired of waking mornings Just to wait for you 'till late Tired of searching high Tired of getting low Tired of listening hard Just to wait for you to know that When will you make my 'phone ring And tell me I can't give you anything Anything at all now I want you in everything In everything In anything I do When will you make my 'phone ring And tell me I can't give you anything Anything at all now I want you I want you I want you I want you I want you I want you I want you I want you

Deacon Blue - "Your Town"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf8gm7ou-YY I wouldn't want to be you Mostly not even near you When you're gone they will curse you And raise the tide against you I no longer care now For what you said was fair now I just don't go there now I just don't go Maybe there's a way not to make it hurt To cover up the words like you covered up the dirt Ever since you left It just gets worse Living out in your town Now let's say it like it is I just don't know where to begin It's a different way of living It's so strange to what we've been First we speak for ourselves now And people know who we are now And they wake up and they live now Yes they wake up and they live Maybe there's a way not to let it hurt Tell it out in pictures And songs and words Do what we should not To make it worse Living out in your town

Deacon Blue - "Only Tender Lov "

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3NfspgsAIs Way out there in the wilderness Of love and pain Under the gentle arches we rode The silver streets Couldn`t see a difference between gold or Wooden cross Could never see where we`re falling Came in to love Then hounded by love Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up Chased inside the walls you tried to breach Sent crashing to your knees Only tender love Understood the need you need with Understood the time it took To take you where nothing ever was Never was there once nothing And everything once was Not dead but still and ready to be born anew Looking back now it all Seems so clear Like staring so long unseeing for someone to light inside a Darkened room Then try your tender love Push you back till there`s nowhere left Nowhere to feel nothing anymore Nothing that will comfort you more More than tender love Understands the need you need with Understand the time it takes to get home and have a love again More than tender love Understands the need you need with Understand the time it takes To get home and have a love Then try your tender love Push it till there`s nothing left Nowhere to feel nothing anymore Nothing that will comfort you more Then hounded by love Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up Chased inside the walls you tried to breach Sent crashing to your knees Then only tender love Understood the need you need with Understood the time it took To take you where nothing ever was Read more: Deacon Blue - Only Tender Love Lyrics | MetroLyrics

Deacon Blue - "Born In A Storm / Raintown"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZrgNNrJIcU "Born In A Storm" That hurricane day Will soon pass away And someone will sweep All the jetsam back into the bay And you'll come Like you always did And knock on my door Like the big bad wind Born in a storm Is that the only excuse you can give Born in a storm Is that all you're going to live "Raintown" It`s a rain dirt town job hurts but it don`t pay All these calls they`re making me and driving you insane Don`t you see Don`t you understand Waiting for the phone to ring to make me all I am. You`re in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go I`m down here working on some dumb show In a raintown Raintown Rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns In a raintown Raintown Rain down On all those days you`re not around It takes a big hearted girl from the North Country you can tell How you payed those bills and went through Heaven and hell And you You cried and you traveled and you spat but you never asked Well how long how long how long is this pain You`re on for three minutes trying hard to say hello I`m down here working on some dumb show In a Raintown Raintown Rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns In a Raintown Raintown Rain down On all those days you`re not around Sitting at home listening to your radio Listening for your old friend talking on some dumb show What`s he saying What`s he saying What`s he saying In a Raintown Raintown Rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns In a Raintown Raintown Rain down On all those days you`re not around Raintown Rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns Raintown Rain down On all those days you`re not around You`re not around You`re not around Read more: Deacon Blue - Raintown Lyrics | MetroLyrics

Deacon Blue - "Love and Regret"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9ZW7PRcOfA Cold dawn Won`t comfort you Cold coffee Won`t see you through Cold sheets Won`t heal your heart Your frozen fingers of your Name so tarred I know so rarely That things come your way Your ways are tender And your paths are straight Your mind`s not lived in The way ours are set Your heart is open To love and regret Rings and letters They pass me by You wish them well And seldom cry For stones and promises and wedding sighs You`ve known the times that you`ve Lived and died Those sailors come by And spend time ashore Their thoughts are hoarded As yours have been stored Your mind`s not lived in The way ours are set Your heart is open To love and regret Outside in the morning air I hear the soundtrack of the Blues harp player It touches… Feelings that don't arouse Knocks me back to that Shuttered house Take me back When they`re all out Take me back to that Shuttered house I know so rarely That things come your way Your ways are tender And your paths are straight Your mind`s not lived in The way ours are set Your heart is open To love and regret Love and regret Love and regret Love and regret Love and regret
