Shipbuilding Lyrics - Unfaithful Music - Elvis Costello

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 rumor 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 rumor 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 rumor that was spread around town 

A telegram or a picture postcard 

Within weeks, they'll be re-opening the shipyards 

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 

It's all we're skilled in 

We will be shipbuilding
