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
