"Worked Out" lyrics - BIG BIG TRAIN
Come on lads, walk beside me
One more time into the darkness
Further than we've ever been
Further than we've ever been before
Come on lads, walk in line
We work the coalface
Work the longwall
Following on from our fathers and brothers
Into the depths of the lower measures
Light from a distant sun plays across the shore
Oceans rise and fall
Wild untamed and unknown places
Were nothing to us, fell before us
We shaped the land, we changed the skyline
We had our day, our day is over
Following on from our fathers and brothers
Out of the depths of the lower measures
Light from a distant sun plays across the shore
Oceans rise and fall
[Chorus:]
We're working men, we follow the seam
Oh, under the hills to the end of the lode
We're working men, we follow the seam
Under the fields to the end of the lode
It's the end of the road
We're working men, we follow the seam
Under the fields to the end of the lode
It's the end of the road
So come on lads, walk beside me
One last time into the darkness
Oh, out across the open skyline
Shafts are capped and wheels stop turning
Following on from our fathers and brothers
Out of the depths of the lower measures
Light from a distant sun plays across the shore
Oceans rise and fall
[Chorus:]
We're working men, we follow the seam
Oh, under the hills to the end of the lode
We're working men, we follow the seam
Under the fields to the end of the lode
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus:]
We're working men, we follow the seam
Under the fields to the end of the lode
We're working men, we follow the seam, oh, woah-oh
Under the fields to the end of the lode
We're working men, we follow the seam
Follow the seam (Under the fields to the end of the lode)
We're working men, we follow the seam
So come on lads, and walk beside me
[Instrumental Outro]
