Sir Alfred Fernandez Yarrow, 1st Baronet, of Homestead^{[disambiguation needed ]} (13 January 1842 – 24 January 1932) was a British shipbuilder who started a shipbuilding dynasty, Yarrow Shipbuilders.

Yarrow was born to humble origins in East London. He was part Spanish Sephardi Jewish on his mother's side. He was educated at University College School. After serving an apprenticeship in Stepney, he opened a yard — Yarrow and Hedley (a partnership) — at Folly Wall, Poplar on the Isle of Dogs in 1865 to build steam river launches.

He ventured into military vessels from the early 1870s, building torpedo boats for the Argentine and Japanese navies, among other customers. Then in 1892 he built the first two destroyers for the Royal Navy: Havock and Hornet of the Havock class. He struck up a strong friendship and correspondence with Lord Fisher ("Jackie Fisher"), and subsequently Yarrow Shipbuilders became a lead contractor for the Royal Navy for smaller, but almost always fast, boats.

By this time, the Hedley partnership had been dissolved (1875), and the company was known as Yarrow & Co, and around 1898 moved out of Folly shipyard to the nearby London Yard. It was to be a short-lived move, for less than 10 years later (1906–1908) Yarrow gradually moving his yard northwards to Scotstoun on the banks of the River Clyde on the west coast of Scotland, closing the London shipyard in 1908. Yarrow Shipbuilders was nationalised into British Shipbuilders by the Labour Government headed by Jim Callaghan and was subsequently privatised by Margaret Thatcher's government when the shipyard assets were purchased by GEC Marconi in 1985; in 1999 it became part of BAE Systems Marine. An operation in Esquimalt, Canada was purchased in 1913, renamed Yarrows Ltd., and after the Second World War sold to Burrard Dry Dock.

Alive

All I was afraid of... ,
my fear has come
body has no power
whispers all around
I'm the one
I'm the one
I'm the one
I'm the one
staying in the desert
almost not alive
feeling no feelings
I'm alone on high
I'm the one
I'm the one
I'm the one
I'm the one
do I go nowhere?
Absent of mind
Am I not real ?
Am I not alive ?
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I know there's no way
to avoid the life
but what about the pain?
It kills my mind
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I hear in my ears : „no way ”
guess who is standing behind …
unreal pictures in eyes
unreal figures behind
all what you need , will be given
all what you want , you will get
take more crack – touch the heaven
look at this girl – have a sex …
instinctively - it's a lifetime
instinctively – not a sin , don't worry
no one will see , what you've done here
what is not seen , does not exists
I'm the one ( all right ...)
I'm the one ( all right …)
I'm the one ( all right …)
I'm the one ( all …?)
do I go nowhere?
Absent of mind
Am I not real ?
Am I not alive ?
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I know there's no way
to avoid the life
but what about the pain?
It kills my mind
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
You can't feel my pain
my life is for gain
all I do is for show
like a chameleon , like a clone
I will do all I must
cause of greed, cause of lust
like a junkie on the road
like a crow on the corpse
alive in hell
alive in hell
alive in hell
alive in hell
I'm the man you've met
years ago, he was alive
years ago , but now he's not
Do I go nowhere?
Absent of mind
Am I not real ?
Am I not alive ?
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I'm the one , alone
I know there's no way
to avoid the life
but what about the pain?
It kills my mind
