Ravenscraig |
| Word came like a hammer |
| Night fell down like a shroud |
| And it’s caught me drinking, trying to turn back the clock |
| Through this industrial ghost town |
| I’ve known graft and I’ve voted well |
| Trying to keep the Lowlands red |
| But all I gets control in foreign hands |
| Other colours instead |
| All I want is a roof over my head |
| All I want is a steady job |
| All I want to do is say I love you |
| With every penny I’ve got |
| And all I think about are Debbie and Jane |
| To give them some kind of chance in life |
| But the long road running out the strip mill gate |
| Has got me walking that line |
| We never stretched our dance hall dreams |
| We got it just about right |
| There’s little escape from a working town |
| And from a working life |
| I placed my future in the palm of your hand |
| One autumn Friday at the Church of All Saints |
| There’s no investment here in life or in love |
| And now it’s getting too late |
| All I want is a roof over my head |
| All I want is a steady job |
| All I want to do is say I love you |
| With every penny I’ve got |
| And all I think about are Debbie and Jane |
| To give them some kind of chance in life |
| But the long road running out the strip mill gate |
| Has got me walking that line |
| Has got me walking that line |
| Has got me walking that line |
