Working Town versuri

Versuri How We Live – Working Town lyrics

The kindest people that I ever knew
Came from the countryside to look for work
They brought me here when I was barely two
To council houses and a state-run school

Sun shines on this working town, oh
Grass grows where the factories stood
Old places closing down, oh
No work in this working town

Wheels are turning as the cage goes down
Another belly full of men for the mine
From these hilltops that their fathers made
All seems much smaller than I realized

Sun shines on this working town, oh
Grass grows where the factories stood
Old places closing down, oh
No work in this working town

Ooh

Sun shines on this working town, oh
Grass grows where the factories stood
Old faces closing down, oh
No work in this working town

Sun shines on this working town, oh
We’re resigned to the way things are
No anger, no point anyhow, oh
No work in this working town

Ooh
