[00:00.00]Thousands Are Sailing (Live At The Brixton Academy 2001) - The Pogues
[00:19.11]The island it is silent now
[00:22.87]But the ghosts still haunt the waves
[00:26.68]And the torch lights up a famished man
[00:30.64]Who fortune could not save
[00:34.31]Did you work upon the railroad
[00:38.20]Did you rid the streets of crime
[00:42.05]Were your dollars from the white house
[00:45.81]Were they from the five and dime
[00:49.99]Did the old songs taunt or cheer you
[00:53.32]And did they still make you cry
[00:56.79]Did you count the months and years
[00:59.89]Or did your teardrops quickly dry
[01:04.07]Ah no says he 'twas not to be
[01:07.33]On a coffin ship I came here
[01:10.85]And I never even got so far
[01:14.74]That they could change my name
[01:18.29]Thousands are sailing
[01:21.84]Across the western ocean
[01:25.09]To a land of opportunity
[01:28.67]That some of them will never see
[01:32.39]Fortune prevailing
[01:35.86]Across the western ocean
[01:39.30]Their bellies full
[01:40.74]Spirits Their free
[01:42.81]They'll break the chains of poverty
[01:46.16]And they'll dance
[01:56.71]In Manhattan's desert twilight
[02:00.14]In the death of afternoon
[02:03.62]We stepped hand in hand on Broadway
[02:07.25]Like the first man on the moon
[02:11.13]And"The Blackbird" broke the silence
[02:14.91]As you whistled it so sweet
[02:18.51]And in Brendan Behan's footsteps
[02:21.95]I danced up and down the street
[02:25.72]Then we said goodnight to Broadway
[02:29.41]Giving it our best regards
[02:32.96]Tipped our hats to Mister Cohen
[02:36.21]Dear old Times Square's favorite bard
[02:39.95]Then we raised a glass to JFK
[02:43.73]And a dozen more besides
[02:46.92]When I got back to my empty room
[02:50.77]I suppose I must have cried
[02:54.52]Thousands are sailing
[02:57.90]Again across the ocean
[03:01.11]Where the hand of opportunity
[03:04.66]Draws tickets in a lottery
[03:08.57]Postcards we're mailing
[03:12.02]Of sky-blue skies and oceans
[03:15.55]From rooms the daylight never sees
[03:18.99]Where lights don't glow on Christmas trees
[03:21.62]We But dance to the music
[03:24.11]And we dance
[03:57.35]Thousands are sailing
[04:00.29]Across the western ocean
[04:03.87]Where the hand of opportunity
[04:07.46]Draws tickets in a lottery
[04:11.09]Where e'er we go we celebrate
[04:14.58]The land that makes us refugees
[04:17.97]From fear of Priests with empty plates
[04:21.48]From guilt and weeping effigies
[04:24.75]And we dance
