And you, Jackie White, shall I pass you this chalice? Is there something afoot down at Buckingham Palace? Aye, the footmen are frantic in their indignation You see, "The Queen's took a taxi herself to the station!" Where the porters, surprised by her lack of Royal baggage Bustle her and three corgis to the rear of the carriage For the train it is crammed with all Europe's nobility And there's none of them famous for their compatibility There's a fight over seats, "I beg pardon Your Grace But you'll find that one's mine, so get back in yr place!" "Aye, but where are they going?" All the porters debate "Why they're going to Newcastle and they dare not be late For they're launching a boat on the Tyne at high tide And they've come from all over, from far and from wide" There's the old Dalai Lama, aye and the Pontiff of Rome Every palace in Europe, and there's nay bugger home There's the Duchess of Cornwall and the loyal Prince of Wales Looking crushed and uncomfortable in his top hat and tails "Why, they haven't got tickets," "Come now, it's just a detail There was no time to purchase and one simply has to prevail For we'll get to the shipyards or we'll end up in jail When the last ship sails!" Oh, the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers The noise at the end of the world in your ears As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea And the last ship sails It's a strange kind of beauty It's cold and austere And whatever it was that you've done to be here It's the sum of your hopes, your despairs and your fears When the last ship sails Well the first to arrive saw these signs in the east Like that strange moving finger at Balthazar's Feast Where they asked the advice of some wandering priest And the sad ghosts of men whom they'd thought long deceased And whatever got said, they'd be counted at least When the last ship sails Oh, the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers The noise at the end of the world in your ears As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea And the last ship sails And whatever you'd promised, whatever you've done And whatever the station in life you've become In the name of the Father, in the name of the Son And no matter the weave of this life that you've spun On the Earth or in Heaven or under the Sun When the last ship sails Oh, the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers The noise at the end of the world in your ears As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea And the last ship sails
