My Claim To Fame |
Well he’s a big star now |
But I’ve been a fan of his for years |
The way he sings and plays guitar |
Still brings me to tears |
I wouldn’t want to be a big deal |
I wouldn’t want to be a celebrity |
I spend my life building ships of steel |
That’s all there ever was for me Take a hammer to the sea belles |
And shout my name |
And I’ll sail the seas as free as a breeze |
That’s my claim to fame |
He spends his life in the studio |
Jet planes and big black cars |
Plays records on the radio |
In all of the clubs and in all of the bars |
By day he didn’t have a choice |
You had to take a trade |
You had no money and you had no voice |
That’s the life I made |
Take a hammer to the sea belles |
And shout my name |
And I’ll sail the seas as free as a breeze |
That’s my claim to fame |
That’s my claim to fame boys |
That’s my claim to fame |
To sail the seas as free as a breeze |
That’s my claim to fame |
Well a song can live forever and a day |
An old ship goes to the breakers yard |
In a hundred years you’re gonna hear him play |
They won’t remember me for working hard |
Now they’ve all gone away, all the boys and the girls |
They yard is a grave where the river runs through |
We used to build the ships for the whole wide world |
Now we couldn’t do it if we wanted to Take a hammer to the sea belles |
And shout my name |
I’ll sail the seas as free as a breeze |
That’s my claim to fame |
Take a hammer to the sea belles |
And shout my name |
I’ll sail the seas as free as a breeze |
That’s my claim to fame |
That’s my claim to fame boys |
That’s my claim to fame |
To sail the seas as free as a breeze |
That’s my claim to fame |
