paroles de chanson Thousands Are Sailing (Live At the Brixton Academy 2001) - The Pogues
The
island
it
is
silent
now
But
the
ghosts
still
haunt
the
waves
And
the
torch
lights
up
a
famished
man
Who
fortune
could
not
save
Did
you
work
upon
the
railroad
Did
you
rid
the
streets
of
crime
Were
your
dollars
from
the
white
house
Were
they
from
the
five
and
dime
Did
the
old
songs
taunt
or
cheer
you
And
did
they
still
make
you
cry
Did
you
count
the
months
and
years
Or
did
your
teardrops
quickly
dry
Ah,
no,
says
he,
′twas
not
to
be
On
a
coffin
ship
I
came
here
And
I
never
even
got
so
far
That
they
could
change
my
name
Thousands
are
sailing
Across
the
western
ocean
To
a
land
of
opportunity
That
some
of
them
will
never
see
Fortune
prevailing
Across
the
western
ocean
Their
bellies
full
Their
spirits
free
They'll
break
the
chains
of
poverty
And
they′ll
dance
In
Manhattan's
desert
twilight
In
the
death
of
afternoon
We
stepped
hand
in
hand
on
Broadway
Like
the
first
man
on
the
moon
And
"The
Blackbird"
broke
the
silence
As
you
whistled
it
so
sweet
And
in
Brendan
Behan's
footsteps
I
danced
up
and
down
the
street
Then
we
said
goodnight
to
Broadway
Giving
it
our
best
regards
Tipped
our
hats
to
Mister
Cohen
Dear
old
Times
Square′s
favorite
bard
Then
we
raised
a
glass
to
JFK
And
a
dozen
more
besides
When
I
got
back
to
my
empty
room
I
suppose
I
must
have
cried
Thousands
are
sailing
Again
across
the
ocean
Where
the
hand
of
opportunity
Draws
tickets
in
a
lottery
Postcards
we′re
mailing
Of
sky-blue
skies
and
oceans
From
rooms
the
daylight
never
sees
Where
lights
don't
glow
on
Christmas
trees
And
we
danced
to
the
music
And
we
dance
Thousands
are
sailing
Across
the
western
ocean
Where
the
hand
of
opportunity
Draws
tickets
in
a
lottery
Where
e′er
we
go,
we
celebrate
The
land
that
makes
us
refugees
From
fear
of
Priests
with
empty
plates
From
guilt
and
weeping
effigies
And
we
danced
to
the
music
And
we
dance
