Friends Of The Shipyard and Fisherman's Fayre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and rogues.
We′re on the road to nowhere, lets find out where it goes.
It might be a ladder to the stars, who knows?
Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and rogues.

Leave all your furrows in the fields where they lie,
The factories and offices, kiss them all goodbye.
Have a little faith in the dream-maker in the sky.
There's glory in believing in, and it′s all in the beholder's eye.

Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and rogues.

We're on the road to nowhere, lets find out where it goes.




It might be a ladder to the stars, who knows?
Come all you no-hopers, you jokers and rogues.
