Taking on Men歌词完整版
There’s a call on the docks that they’re taking on men
Taking on men, your idle time’s over, they’re taking on men
So get out of your bed and and get down there
Well there’s talk of big paybacks, fifteen month contracts
For skilled men and labourers, clerks and apprentices
Oh Swan shops to Neptune they’re taking on men
And they’re heading in droves to the river
And the gates are wide open they’re taking on men
Taking on men, there’s keels to be laid in dry dock and dry pen
To build on a fine reputation
Well there’s good lads have died for it, fought with the Clyde for it
Rivaled with Barrow from Wallsend to Jarrow
Now it’s gone in our favour, it’s good times again
And I tell you it’s just like old times
And that sweet ring of chains means they’re taking on men
Taking on men, there’s steel scraping concrete, they’re taking on men
It’s a lullaby straight off the water
Well they’ll haul plate and pipe as the language gets ripe
There’ll be bells ringing, horns blaring, crack of the dawn swearing
Things have never been this good since God knows when
We’ll be sneezing in satin in no time
Oh remember the days they were taking on men
Taking on men, we took it for granted that taking on men
Would always be how we made wages
But some say the needy days turned into greedy days
The kings of this industry are the Polish and Japanese
And gone are the days they were taking on men
And the quayside’s a drunken man’s playground
Yes, gone are the days they were taking on men
Taking on men, no idle times over, not taking on men
So get out of your bed and your memories
