Last Shift – Richard ThompsonBy Stow your gear and charge your lampSay goodbye to dark and dampDSS will pay your stampLast shift, close her downLeave your manhood, leave your prideBack there on the mucky sideTake the cage for one more rideLast shift, close her downPut the business in the blackAnd they’ve stabbed us in the backWith old school ties and little white liesThey left our town for scrapGolden handshake, sling our hooksNow we’re nursemaids, now we’re cooksNow our kids steal pension booksLast shift, close her downNow the scrapper boys infestAnd the wrecking balls caressLike vermin round a burial groundThey catch the smell of deathOld Grimey’s lost its soulFifty million tons of coalAnd we’re beggars on the doleLast shift, close her downLast shift, close her down www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
