Lyrics
Jacob's Ladder
Like rusty old nails, at
the bottom of the sea
Telling no tales, for the
good of the Admiralty
You jump when you're told to,
through the open door
And the King of Norway, he's
the man you all died for
On this, Jacob's Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacob's Ladder
"And they sent him
to the wars to be slain,
to be slain
And they sent him to the
wars to be slain"
A thousand lifetimes, left
standing at the docks
In the bar down in Whitehall,
they're sure the boat won't
rock
In a file marked "secret" in
a drawer kept closed
Nobody wonders, because nobody knows
About this, Jacob's Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacob's Ladder
"And they sent him
to the wars to be slain,
to be slain
And they sent him to the
wars to be slain"
On this
Jacob's Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacob's Ladder
O Bulldog Leader:
Sooner or later
Well dig up the body
And try your cadaver
