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