Industrial town lyrics

Artist  : Weddings parties anything 
Song : Industrial town
 
Down in the valley, the valley so low, Lay the
town over and hear the winds blow, Lay the town
over and dig it all in, For what we once had will
not come again. The people are crying, the people
are down, They look at the crevice where once
lived a town, And it's not for the money, they
cry not for the blame They just cry for a ghost
town, such a great shame. Take six politicians
and dig me a grave Take six intellectuals, my
soul try to save And six union workers, a red
flag to wave And one stupid singer to rant and to
rave... Now Old King Coal was a merry old soul
Such a merry old soul was he, Cause he fed my
dad, he fed my mum, He fed us children three. And
I remember Old Coach Road, And the pine trees by
its side And I remember the playground there, And
every swing and slide. It's goodbye to you my old
grey friend Soon your days are at an end They'll
dig you up, tear you down, Goodbye to you -
Industrial Town. In the morning when the sun came
up On commission housing, there, We could feel the
ash from the mine sometimes Come floating through
the air. But times were good and we didn't mind
About the chimneys and their mess. Oh no, three
meals a day, a sleep at night, We couldn't have
cared less. It's goodbye to you my old grey
friend Soon your days are at an end They'll dig
you up, tear you down, Goodbye to you -
Industrial Town. Time moved on, we moved away How
a young child soon forgets, Twelve years later I
returned, And I see with regret Empty houses,
empty streets, Not a single soul to meet, Sold
right out, damned on whim, Sing this chorus, sing
this hymn. Goodbye to you my old grey friend Soon
your days are at an end They'll dig you up, tear
you down, Goodbye to you - Industrial Town.
Industrial Town, Industrial Town, Industrial
Town.
