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

 And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
 And they sent him to the wars to be slain
 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
