coal not dole - oysterband lyrics

Loading...

it stands so proud, the wheel so still
a ghostlike figure on the hill
it seems so strange there is no sound
now there are no men underground
what will become of this pit-yard
where men once trampled, faces hard
tired and weary, their shift done
never having seen the sun

will it become a sacred ground
foreign tourists gazing round?
asking if there once worked here
way beneath the pit-head gear
empty trucks once filled with coal
lined up like men on the dole
will they ever he used again
or left for scr-p just like the men?

there’ll always be a happy hour
for those with money, jobs and power
they’ll never realise the hurt
they cause to men they treat like dirt
