lyrics

You show me a future and I don't understand
You offer me a living, then you take it from my hand
Not just for the children, or the men there side by side
We were bound by hope we were bound by pride

Take a look at my hands, and the muscles on my back
My body is my living, I was born to walk this path
Like my father before me, this die was cast
Now you're telling me I'm finished, "You're a thing of the past
You're the end of an era, you're the last.

We don't build ships any more, we don't rule the waves
The fishing fleets have all but gone, sold out to a watery grave
You say that it's progress, marching on through time
Go tell it to the ship builders, the fishermen and the labourers
Who have earned their keep with sweat and blood
Go tell it to the lads from down the mines

Take a look at my house, take a look at me town,
Foundations built on coal, you might as well tear them down.
You get compensation for the money that you're owed
God knows you've earned it with your body and your soul,
That's the price you pay, that's the price of coal.

You show me a future and I don't understand
You offer me a living, then you take it from my hand
Not just for the children, or the men there side by side
We were bound by hope we were bound by pride
