														   Hey now!

 

 The iron gates clang in a steel mill town

 A man breaks down to that unemployment sound

 He takes a last walk down that old coast road

 In the dying death throes of all that he
knows

 The sight of those men walking through the
gates

 Was like a lame pit pony at the end of its
days

 

 (fire, fire, fire)

 

 In a deeside town eight thousand went down

 In a february day in the driving rain

 No winners just losers and cuts and bruises

 As the picket lines fell, the industry died

 There's still one question after all this
time

 Is a working man bom to live and then die?

 

 Fire fire fire.

 

 To build the ships to set the sails

 To cross the sea of fools

 To be dealt the cards

 To play our hand

 To win or else to lose

 In this cruel world that kicks a man when he's
down

 

 (down to the ground)

 

 (hey now)

 

 And lady luck smiles on the few in this world

 And i hope and i pray that she smiles on you

 I ain't gonna preach, no i ain't gonna teach

 I 'm just gonna sing about the things that i
need

 

 A little bit of love, a little bit of hope

 A little bit of strength, some fuel for the
fire

 

 (fire fire fire)

 

 To build the ships to set the sails

 To cross the sea of fools

 To be dealt the cards

 To play our hand

 To win or else to lose

 In this cruel world that kicks a man when he's
down.

 

 (down to the ground)

 

 A little bit of love, a little bit of hope

 A little bit of strength, some fuel for the
fire

 

 (fire fire fire)

 

 To build the ships to set the sails

 To cross the sea of fools

 To be dealt the cards

 To play our hand

 To win or else to lose

 In this cruel world that kicks a man when he's
down.

 

 And all around the world the lights are going
down.
