 Rate Navigator
Artist : Pogues
Song : Navigator
The canals and the bridges, the embankments and
cuts,
They blasted and dug with their sweat and their
guts
They never drank water but whiskey by pints
And the shanty towns rang with their songs and
their fights.
Navigator, navigator rise up and be strong
The morning is here and there’s work to be done.
Take your pick and your shovel and the bold
dynamite
For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight
Yes to shift a few tons of this earthly delight.
They died in their hundreds with no sign to mark
where
Save the brass in the pocket of the
entrepreneur.
By landslide and rockblast they got buried so
deep
That in death if not life they’ll have peace
while they sleep.
Navigator, navigator rise up and be strong
The morning is here and there’s work to be done.
Take your pick and your shovel and the bold
dynamite
For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight
Yes to shift a few tons of this earthly delight.
Their mark on this land is still seen and still
laid
The way for a commerce where vast fortunes were
made
The supply of an empire where the sun never set
Which is now deep in darkness, but the railway’s
there yet.
Navigator, navigator rise up and be strong
The morning is here and there’s work to be done.
Take your pick and your shovel and the bold
dynamite
For to shift a few tons of this earthly delight
Yes to shift a few tons of this earthly delight.
