Thousands Are Sailing​

Song by​

The Pogues
The island, it is silent now
But the ghosts still haunt the waves
And the torch lights up a famished man
Who fortune could not save
Did you work upon the railroad?
Did you rid the streets of crime?
Were your dollars from the White House?
Were they from the Five-and-Dime?
Did the old songs taunt or cheer you?
And did they still make you cry?
Did you count the months and years
Or did your teardrops quickly dry?
"Ah, no", says he, "it was not to be
On a coffin ship I came here
And I never even got so far
That they could change my name"
Thousands are sailing
Across the western ocean
To a land of opportunity
That some of them will never see
Fortune prevailing
Across the western ocean
Their bellies full
Their spirits free
They'll break the chains of poverty
And they'll dance
In Manhattan's desert twilight
In the death of afternoon
We stepped hand in hand on Broadway
Like the first man on the moon
And a blackbird broke the silence
As you whistled it so sweet
And in Brendan Behan's footsteps
I danced up and down the street
Then we said goodnight to Broadway
Giving it our best regards
Tipped our hats to Mister Cohen
Dear old Times Square's favourite bard
Then we raised a glass to JFK
And a dozen more besides
When I got back to my empty room
I suppose I must have cried
Thousands are sailing
Again across the ocean
Where the hand of opportunity
Draws tickets in a lottery
Postcards we're mailing
Of sky light skies and oceans
From rooms the daylight never sees
And lights don't glow on Christmas trees
And we danced to the music
And we danced
Thousands are sailing
Across the western ocean
Where the hand of opportunity
Draws tickets in a lottery
Where e'er we go, we celebrate
The land that makes us refugees
From fear of priests with empty plates
From guilt and weeping effigies
Still we dance to the music
And we dance

Hopefully the rest of the day will be better than the start of today.
Woke up to find a Dog Tick latched on the side of my tit.
Damn things are bad this spring.


Been trying the past few days to kick start a failing turkey chick-but I put it down this am.

I hadn't even seen a yet.
Need to start planting/transplanting today, so much to do as every spring.
Going to be feeling a tad warm 84F feeling like 91F

Tit ok?

"So now..... I have to search for it with the drone which has a camera... that I have no experience with!!" Which instructions say "do not fly in wind and forrests."

Good one. They look fun to use. I used to know a guy that before drones had a chopper with a camera which he would fly over bush areas looking for un mapped gold diggings or signs for potential good areas to detect. I think he used to do ok.
