Swan Hunter
Big Big Train

As a kid I’d see the ships

Slowly taking shape

Nightshift riveters and caulkers

Keeping us awake

My dad worked at Swan

In the Neptune Yard

Worked the slipways in all weather

7.30 start

Call me up boy

Sit you down by the fireside spend some time

All the pride boy

And the tears

Tears enough to fill the Tyne

Gleaming vessels

Filling up the sky

Dwarfing rows of terraced houses

Larger than life

Tell me what do you do

When what you did is gone

No one throwing you a lifeline

How do you carry on?

Call me up boy

Sit you down by the fireside spend some time

All the pride boy

And the tears

Tears enough to fill the Tyne

So much larger than life

From father to son

We carry it on

It isn’t going change the world

It isn’t going to change the past

‘Cos some things are meant to last

So much larger than life

From father to son

We carry it on

Call me up boy

Sit you down by the fireside spend some time

All the pride boy

And the tears

Tears enough to fill the Tyne
