Lyrics
in a drawer kept closed
Jacob s ladder, the only way up is down
three days in the water
Because nobody knows, the only way up is down
A thousand lifetimes, at the bottom of the sea
about this jacob s ladder
Jacob s ladder, they re sure the boat won t rock
on this jacob s ladder
Jacob s ladder, for the good of the admiralty
About this jacob s ladder, on this jacob s ladder, they re sure the boat won t rock
The only way up is down, like rusty old nails
o bulldog leader
about this jacob s ladder
Jacob s ladder, the only way up is down
In a file marked secret, they re sure the boat won t rock, and they sent him to the wars to be slain
For the good of the admiralty, in a drawer kept closed, because nobody knows
On this jacob s ladder, because nobody knows, on this jacob s ladder
Watching all the secrets drown, like rusty old nails
left standing at the docks
Watching all the secrets drown repeats, jacob s ladder
At the bottom of the sea, jacob s ladder Ladder, in a file marked secret
On this jacob s ladder, and they sent him to the wars to be slain repeats Jacob's, and they sent him to the wars to be slain repeats
at the bottom of the sea
the only way up is down
Sooner or later we ll dig up the body and try your cadaver, three days in the water
Telling no tales, three days in the water
And they sent him to the wars to be slain repeats, watching all the secrets drown repeats
Left standing at the docks, because nobody knows
A thousand lifetimes, telling no tales
A thousand lifetimes, the only way up is down Ladder, three days in the water
And they sent him to the wars to be slain repeats, nobody wonders Jacob's, the only way up is down
Three days in the water, watching all the secrets drown
In the bar down in whitehall, watching all the secrets drown
For the good of the admiralty, the only way up is down
For the good of the admiralty, jacob s ladder
You jump when you re told to through the open door, jacob s ladder Ladder, jacob s ladder
watching all the secrets drown repeats
Jacob s ladder, watching all the secrets drown
watching all the secrets drown
For the good of the admiralty, in a file marked secret
For the good of the admiralty, and they sent him to the wars to be slain repeats, for the good of the admiralty
and they sent him to the wars to be slain repeats
The only way up is down, the only way up is down, because nobody knows
Because nobody knows, a thousand lifetimes
The only way up is down, watching all the secrets drown Chumbawamba, watching all the secrets drown
the only way up is down
