Sky Hooks and Tartan Paint歌詞

Sky Hooks and Tartan Paint Brian Johnson) - Sting
Me first day in the shipyard the gaffer says to me
"I want ye to go to the store lad and get a few things ye see
Now here's a list can ye read lad Can ye read it back to me
And me and the boys'll listen while were having wah morning tea "
Now reading was me pride when I left school at fourteen
There wouldn't be no problem here I'd show them I was keen
But when I starts to reading they just couldn't hold their mirth
Hugging themselves and spluttering like they was giving birth
"First off a brace of sky hooks and a packet of nail holes neat
And then three cans of tartan paint and that's me task complete "
The gaffer pats me on the head and sends me on me way
He says "Don't come back empty handed lad or I'll have to dock yr pay "
So I gets to the store all nervous and the quartermaster's there
I pulls the list out of me pocket and I starts to read all square
Well I hadn't barely finished when the store-man's face turns red
He gives me such an evil look I thought I'd soon be dead
"First off a brace of sky hooks and a packet of nail holes neat
And then three cans of tartan paint and that's me task complete "
The store-man swipes me on the head and sends me on me way
With a kick in the arse for me efforts and such was my first day
I gets back home that evening and me mother says to me
"How was it son How was your day Sit down and have some tea "
I told her of the list I'd read and the trouble I was in
I couldn't go back tomorrow or the gaffer'd have me skinned
"First off a brace of sky hooks and a packet of nail holes neat
And then three cans of tartan paint and that's me task complete "
Me mother swipes me on the head and sends me on me way
With a kick in the arse for me efforts and such was my first day
With a kick in the arse for me efforts and such was my first day
