Dockyard Lyrics

Isn't it funny how things turn out

Going left instead of right

Maybe just a little element of doubt

Made you lower your sight

You should be down the dockyard with your little friends

You came through together but that's where it ends

I have got ambition you've got overalls

Stick me in a barrel and tip me over Niagara Falls

I was convinced that this was my time and that I was gonna go all the way

Sod all the rest they can do what they want but I was going out there to play

I was so convinced that I knew the score that I was on this Earth to please

Listen to this and I know you'll want more this will have you down on your knees

It all seemed clear no questions to ask

Everything should fall right into place

So please Sir can I leave the class

I just need to have a little space

You should be on your way now for clocking in at six

Just another day and the same old tricks

Grey and desolate faces peering through the grime

Waiting for the weekend 'cos they're all doing time

I was convinced that this was my time and that I was gonna go all the way

Sod all the rest, they can do what they want but I was going out there to play

I was so convinced that I knew the score that I was on this Earth to please

Listen to this and I know you'll want more this will have you down on your knees

You should be down the dockyard with your little friends

You came through together but that's where it ends

Grey and desolate faces peering through the grime

Waiting for the weekend 'cos they're all doing time

I was convinced that this was my time and I was gonna go real far

So sod all the rest they can do what they want but I was gonna be a rock star

I was so convinced that I knew the score and that I was on this Earth to please

So listen to this and I know that you'll want more I will have you down on your knees
