Lyrics:
beer flowing free
It's all good
You're so happy in love
You've found the one
I don't know how you do it
Cause we forget
You're at the coal face
Nothing
in space
A million miners work upon the nights coal face
And all I see is black
And the stars look back at me
Oh my friend
What a friend
I'd
Got on a train with nothing but faith and
Hoped I wouldn't have to face it
Coal's weight save face my birth place
Steam freights bring safe my dead
never saw sun or sky
Roads that never saw sun or sky.
Down at the coal face the miner's workin'
Rattle of the belt and the cutter's blade
Crumble
as the grave in the Cumberland mine
Down at the coal face, miners working
Rattle of the belt and the cutter's blade
Rumble of the rock and the walls closed
sun or sky
Roads that never saw sun or sky
Down at the coal face the miner's working
Rattle of the belt and the cutter's blade
Crumble of rock
From father to son
The blood runs thin
See faces frozen still
Against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines are long
From father to son
The blood runs thin
See faces frozen still
Against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines are long
From father to son
The blood runs thin
Ooh, there are faces frozen stiff
Against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines
as the grave in the Cumberland mine
Down at the coal face, miners working
Rattle of the belt and the cutter's blade
Rumble of the rock and the walls closed round
Before diamonds become coal
Face down in lies
Exiled in mind
Forward we fall
Together we rise
Face down in lies
Exiled in mind
Forward we fall
Together we
never saw sun or sky
Roads that never saw sun or sky.
Down at the coal face the miner's workin'
Rattle of the belt and the cutter's blade
Crumble
won
And how it is still won, twenty four hours 'round the clock
You're in a two hundred yard long coal face now
Temperature often reached eighty
getting hard to breathe
I got the miner's lung
Like daddy before me
Hatred - he ain't got no place
There's just one color here
Coal's on every face
Well,
of Tyne in between you and I
Black was the colour of my childish dreams
Impressions that would last
Black coal, coal black pit yacka's face
Escaping
Bayji, and Fallujah
Consensual dismemberment, disarmed
A call to arms in the key of rapture echoing through time
Young men coal hardened faces testing
shift,
at the coal face",
and if you're niether a stuckist,
or a YBA,
and you're no longer a minor,
as of today.
Praise for the wardens,
ready to find,
Get the Sultan's carpet ready 'Cause were going for a ride Higher than the mountains With my best friends at my side Quit slaving at the coal face
let your vision boil,
Yeah they're gonna dig a coal-face! out of you,
Isambard I'm all steel!
Chasing homeless cheerleaders,
Through the sewers
of the coal face
One could stand on street corners and look at the posh people pass with hostile eyes
Insulting were these cold looks, because they were
get to you before the sun goes down
I can't help it.
Gotta hold a hammer to the coal face
Gotta follow that seam to the core
I gotta journey
here
To amend
Heart of Coal
Turned into gold
I can't wait
For chapter to unfold
Heart of coal
Turned into gold
My face beneath
I cannot show
Below)
Losing order when I jot 'em on the page (Whatchu know?)
Face feeling hot like coal
Face feeling cold like snow (Freeze, freeze, freeze)
I don't, I
Schism
Slam their face in the door
Take a fist to the jaw
To start a punitive war
Coal face of reality or victim of their vanity
You drive a spear into
