Shipbuilding is a song by Elvis Costello and Clive Langer, written during the Falklands War of 1982. It was popularized by Robert Wyatt's version, which reached the UK Top 40 in 1983, and inspired an answer song by Elvis Costello and La Marisoul.
Written during the Falklands War of 1982, Costello's lyrics discuss the contradiction of the war bringing back prosperity to the traditional shipbuilding areas of Clydeside (Yarrow Shipbuilders), Merseyside (Cammell Laird), North East England (Swan Hunter) and Belfast (Harland and Wolff) to build new ships to replace those being sunk in the war

Elvis Costello and The Attractions Lyrics. "Shipbuilding". Is it worth it. A new winter coat and shoes for the wife. And a bicycle on the boy's birthday. It's just a rumour that was spread around town. By the women and children. Soon we'll be shipbuilding. Well I ask you.
