| [00:08.000] |
Aye, the footmen are frantic in their indignation, |
| [00:13.000] |
You see, "The Queen's took a taxi herself to the station!" |
| [00:17.000] |
Where the porters, surprised by her lack of Royal baggage, |
| [00:22.000] |
Bustle her and three corgis to the rear of the carriage, |
| [00:26.000] |
For the train it is crammed with all Europe's nobility, |
| [00:31.000] |
And there's none of them famous for their compatibility. |
| [00:35.000] |
There's a fight over seats, "I beg pardon Your Grace, |
| [00:39.000] |
But you'll find that one's mine, so get back in yr place!" |
| [00:45.000] |
"Aye, but where are they going?" All the porters debate,“ |
| [00:50.000] |
"Why they're going to Newcastle and they daresn't be late,“ |
| [00:54.000] |
For they're launching a boat on the Tyne at high tide, |
| [00:58.000] |
And they've come from all over, from far and from wide." |
| [01:03.000] |
|
| [01:07.000] |
Every palace in Europe, and there's nay bugger home. |
| [01:12.000] |
There's the Duchess of Cornwall and the loyal Prince of Wales, |
| [01:17.000] |
Looking crushed and uncomfortable in his top hat and tails. |
| [01:21.000] |
"Why, they haven't got tickets," "Come now, it's just a detail,“ |
| [01:25.000] |
There was no time to purchase and one simply has to prevail, |
| [01:30.000] |
For we'll get to the shipyards or we'll end up in jail!" |
| [01:34.000] |
When the last ship sails. |
| [01:39.000] |
Oh the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers, |
| [01:44.000] |
The noise at the end of the world in your ears, |
| [01:49.000] |
As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea, |
| [01:53.000] |
And the last ship sails. |
| [01:57.000] |
And whatever you'd promised, whatever you've done, |
| [02:02.000] |
And whatever the station in life you've become. |
| [02:07.000] |
In the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, |
| [02:11.000] |
And no matter the weave of this life that you've spun, |
| [02:15.000] |
On the Earth or in Heaven or under the Sun, |
| [02:20.000] |
When the last ship sails. |
| [02:24.000] |
Oh the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers, |
| [02:30.000] |
The noise at the end of the world in your ears, |
| [02:34.000] |
As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea, |
| [02:39.000] |
And the last ship sails. |
