[00:08.000]	Aye, the footmen are frantic in their indignation,
[00:13.000]	You see, "The Queen's took a taxi herself to the station!"
[00:17.000]	Where the porters, surprised by her lack of Royal baggage,
[00:22.000]	Bustle her and three corgis to the rear of the carriage,
[00:26.000]	For the train it is crammed with all Europe's nobility,
[00:31.000]	And there's none of them famous for their compatibility.
[00:35.000]	There's a fight over seats, "I beg pardon Your Grace,
[00:39.000]	But you'll find that one's mine, so get back in yr place!"
[00:45.000]	"Aye, but where are they going?" All the porters debate,“
[00:50.000]	"Why they're going to Newcastle and they daresn't be late,“
[00:54.000]	For they're launching a boat on the Tyne at high tide,
[00:58.000]	And they've come from all over, from far and from wide."
[01:03.000]
[01:07.000]	Every palace in Europe, and there's nay bugger home.
[01:12.000]	There's the Duchess of Cornwall and the loyal Prince of Wales,
[01:17.000]	Looking crushed and uncomfortable in his top hat and tails.
[01:21.000]	"Why, they haven't got tickets," "Come now, it's just a detail,“
[01:25.000]	There was no time to purchase and one simply has to prevail,
[01:30.000]	For we'll get to the shipyards or we'll end up in jail!"
[01:34.000]	When the last ship sails.
[01:39.000]	Oh the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers,
[01:44.000]	The noise at the end of the world in your ears,
[01:49.000]	As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea,
[01:53.000]	And the last ship sails.
[01:57.000]	And whatever you'd promised, whatever you've done,
[02:02.000]	And whatever the station in life you've become.
[02:07.000]	In the name of the Father, in the name of the Son,
[02:11.000]	And no matter the weave of this life that you've spun,
[02:15.000]	On the Earth or in Heaven or under the Sun,
[02:20.000]	When the last ship sails.
[02:24.000]	Oh the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers,
[02:30.000]	The noise at the end of the world in your ears,
[02:34.000]	As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea,
[02:39.000]	And the last ship sails.
