Jacob`s Ladder Lyrics

Jacob`s Ladder 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

(Repeats)

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

(Repeats)

On this Jacob's
Ladder

The only way up is down

Three days in the water

Watching all the secrets drown

(Repeats)

Jacob's Ladder

(Repeats)

O Bulldog Leader, sooner or later we'll dig up the body and
try your cadaver (repeats)
