Written during the Falklands War of 1982, Costello's lyrics highlight the irony of the war bringing back prosperity to the traditional shipbuilding areas of Clydeside, Merseyside ( Cammell Laird), North East England and Belfast ( Harland and Wolff) to build new ships to replace those being sunk in the war, whilst also sending off the sons of these areas to fight and, potentially, lose their lives in those same ships. " Shipbuilding" is a song with lyrics by Elvis Costello and music by Clive Langer. Song written by Elvis Costello and Clive Langer
