Show Of Hands - The napoli lyrics

Paroles de la chanson The Napoli : Midwinter, two years ago Out to the west a storm began to blow And the word went round to those in the know: The Napoli's gonna run aground She's listing a week out of the docks A hundred containers a-heading for the rocks Gather round lads now, quick out of your blocks Everyone's Branscombe bound Said everyone's Sidmouth bound Come gangs from the north Lads off the moor Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath? A looter, and a pirate, and a thief All those boxes washed off the deck Right through the hand of the receiver of the wrecks We ought to fill a form in, but no-one's gonna check Cause there ain't no coppers on the shore No, there ain't no coppers on the shore Come gangs from the north Lads off the moor Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath? A looter, and a pirate, and a thief Five and twenty ponies Trotting through the dark -- Brandy for the Parson Baccy for the Clerk Lace for a lady, letters for a spy; Watch the wall my darling, while the gentlemen go by Come gangs from the north Lads off the moor Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath? A looter, and a pirate, and a thief Flotsam, jetsam Call it what you like I got a big oak barrel And a german motorbike From Lyme bay to eBay Tell me where's the sin? Everyone's a wrecker 'neath the skin... Come gangs from the north Lads off the moor Wreckers on the cliffs, get down to the shore Scratch Joe Public - What's underneath? A looter, and a pirate, and a thief A looter and a pirate and a thief
