🎶 Robert Wyatt - Shipbuilding - 1983 - hauntingly beautiful. #OGWT 🎶

Without a doubt, one of the best protest songs ever.

I heard part of this song many years ago, I had no idea who sang it or what it was called and couldn’t remember the words, I’ve tried to find it hundreds of times over the years. Thank you so much I’ve been listening to it on repeat for a couple of hours so far 🙏

Nice one 👍

Even more poignant if you lived in a shipbuilding town and realise the significance of those lyrics

Great great song beautifully covered by Robert Wyatt. I also love Hue & Cry’s interpretation

Outstanding number, love Robert's and Elvis's versions.

@dougofthecorner One of the best protest songs ever written.

Made me cry then. Still does.

Possibly the greatest song written in the last 50 years?

Beautiful 🖤👍🏻
