Last Day Of The Miners Strike |
| Kids are spitting on the Town Hall steps & frightening old ladies |
| I dreamt that I was living back in the mid 1980s |
| People marching, people shouting, people wearing pastel leather |
| The future’s ours for the taking now, if we just stick together |
| And I said |
| «Hey, lay your burden down |
| Seems the last day of the miners' strike |
| Was the Magna Carta in this part of town» |
| Well my body sank below the ground, it became as black as night |
| Overhead the sound of horses' hooves, people fighting for their lives |
| Some joker in a headband was still getting chicks for free |
| And Big Brother was still watching you, back in the days of '83 |
| And I said |
| «Hey, lay your burden down |
| Seems the last day of the miners' strike |
| Was the Magna Carta in this part of town» |
| Well by 1985 I was as cold as cold could be |
| But no-one was underground to dig me out and set me free |
| 87 socialism gave way to socialising |
| So put your hands up in the air once more, the north is rising… |
| And I said |
| «Hey, lay your burden down |
| Seems the last day of the miners' strike |
| Was the Magna Carta in this part of town» |
| Sing Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah |
| Don’t let them fool you again, sing Hallelujah |
| By now I’m sick & tired of just living in this hole |
| So I took the ancient tablets, blew off the dust |
| Swallowed them whole |
| Oh come on, let’s get together |
| Oh come on, the past is gone |
| Well the very first Commandment: |
| Come on, come on |
| Let’s get it on, come on let’s get it on |
| Get it on. |
| Get it on |
| Hey, lay your burden down |
| Seems the last day of the miners' strike |
| Was the Magna Carta in this part of town |
