作曲：Sting

Show some respect on this deck for the dear departed

Gather ye's round let's be bound by the work we started

Save all your strength for the length of the task before us

Think on that ship on the slipway they can't ignore us

It's what he would have wanted he'll not be disappointed

Each of us well appointed we've all but been anointed

Such was our occupation this means of our salvation

We'll make a rope out of our dreams and hopes and tribulations

We'll weave these strands together we'll splice a rope and tether

And though we won't know whether it's fair or stormy weather

We'll quit this quay

And we'll cast this net of souls upon the sea

Pick up your tools we're not fools to be treated lightly

We'll weld our souls to the bulkheads secure them tightly

We'll use the skills and the crafts that our fathers taught us

We work with pride not as slaves no one ever bought us

We'll weave a net of our dreams and our hopes between us

We'll be the envy of that sorry bunch who'll wish they'd been us

We'll form a web of steel a structure that will not be broken

We'll be the heroes of the day whenever tales are spoken

And as the dance gets faster we'll build a double master

No vessel will outlast her no other ship gets past her

We'll quit this quay

And we'll cast this net of souls upon the sea

Come strike the floor with your feet all you lads and lasses

And if you're too old to dance you can raise your glasses

Just come on in take a spin in your dreams ye've held her

What are ye Man or a mouse or a shipyard welder

Shy bairns get nowt for waiting so why ye hesitating

Ships don't get built debating or launched just contemplating

Wear out your old shoe leather we're in this dance together

We'll pull the blades and feather in fair or clement weather

Each one of us connected all trades and skills respected

Always to be expected we will not be deflected

We'll quit this quay

And we'll cast this net of souls upon the sea

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na la la la

La la la la la la la

Show some respect fill the deck get the lassies twirling

Cos they expect to be swept off their feet and whirling

Life is a dance a romance where ye take your chances

Just don't be left on the shores of regretful glances

We may not drive Rolls Royces we're hardly spoilt for choices

If we're to pay invoices we'll need to raise our voices

Our strength is in communion this boilermakers union

The shipwright welders' guilds with every working station filled

These bonds we've spliced together will face all kinds of weather

Considered altogether and sailing Hell for leather

We'll quit this quay

And we'll cast this net of souls upon the sea

Where will you be

When we cast this net of souls upon the sea
