Round about these sordid streets | |
Grimy faces and dusty feet | |
Racked and soiled, the faded air | |
Another dose for those who dare | |
The aching sounds of machines asleep | |
Daylight hours they quietly creep | |
Steel and iron, spit and choke | |
Ignite the dreams that you once spoke | |
Chorus: | |
It’s a hard road on your own | |
A hard road and you can’t let go | |
A hard road on your own | |
A hard road and you can’t let go | |
A whistle howls behind tall gates | |
Shattered glass as the morning breaks | |
All around you shadows crawl | |
Clocks and keys divide us all | |
Spark and spew, the metal flies | |
The embers rain and flood our pride | |
Tip the furnace, cast the mould | |
The end will lie when the money folds | |
Chorus: | |
Our clothes are stained with dust and dirt | |
As we leave this faded factory church | |
Through bitter winds and keep-out signs | |
Pass the gates we walk the line | |
When you’re old in fields of waste | |
With leather hands and wrinkled face | |
The riches found in twilight rain | |
Will soak the sweat of labour’s pain | |
Chorus: |

Chorus: | |
It' s a hard road on your own | |
A hard road and you can' t let go | |
A hard road on your own | |
A hard road and you can' t let go | |
A whistle howls behind tall gates | |
Shattered glass as the morning breaks | |
