This is the case of the north England blues
'Bout the things you might have and the things you might lose
The life that I've lived no one can deny
'D make hard Herod weep or cruel Nero cry

The story begins at Kellingley mine
The overman stopped us at quarter to nine
Clear out your lockers, the pit is to close!
The cause of our hardship he would not disclose

This is the case of the north England blues
This is the case of the north England blues

Shafted by Maggie, the bringer of woes
Thrown to the wolves by the queen of the crows
With our useless skills the jobs were none
I couldn't provide for my wife and my son

No work at my age in the grocery store
My wife couldn't bear me around any more
Cracks in the coalface, chasms at home
Cold and abandoned, I'm now all alone

This is the case of the north England blues
This is the case of the north England blues

My boy was expelled for starting a fight
With nothing to hope for he sold drugs at night
His future's bleak now they locked him away
He won't let me visit to see if he's okay

So what should you make of the north England blues?
It's not up to me, they're your thoughts to choose
I don't mean to alarm or intend to confuse
But this was the case of the north England blues

This is the case of the north England blues
This is the case of the north England blues
This is the case of the north England blues
