Billy Bragg Ship in my Harbour Lyrics:
A cakewalk down the gangplank full of greenbacks
and Annapolis shoes From Jersey and Memphis, the
home of the brave, and the home of the blues With
voices like honey that made you feel ugly just to
talk It's all crew cuts and cameras and photos for
the folks, back in New York

He said, baby I'm sure that you're getting bored
in this town They'd love you back in LA the way
that you say "baby get down" Here's my
telephone number but I can't always promise I'll
be home I've come ten thousand miles to be with
you tonight, don't let me spend this night on my
own

I can't blame you for what you did It's like the
television opened up and they invited you in And

the way he said honey and that Wayne Rogers [Jerry
Seinfeld / Jack Palance] grin I searched the seas
all my life baby where have you been And I hear
you've been covering the water front Crying lover
man where have you been There's a ship in my
harbour again.

The stars and the stripes wave goodbye as the ship
sails out of sight And you walk back to bed to
catch up on the sleep you missed out on last night
And the river [rolls/flows] out to the sea in the
[cold light/grey] of the dawn And you [wish/dream]
yourself thousands of miles from the [place/town]
where you were born

I can't blame you for what you did It's like the
television opened up and [they] invited you in
There's nothing harder to resist than a stranger's
kiss Why the hell do you think that I sing like
this And I hear you've been covering the water
front Crying lover man where have you been There's
a ship in my harbour again.
