lyrics

I've lived my life in the old factory
It's all I know, all that I can ever be
But now they've built machines to do my job
If I lose it tonight, it'll be the final straw

It's gonna be a cold winter this year
Now that they've shut down the station down at the peer
Now there's 10,000 other guys just like me
At the Grangemouth gates praying for the same vacancy

There's no hope in hard times for us
We get by darlin' but only just
And there's no riches at the end of these rags
So if you're looking for me tonight
You'll find me at Salisbury crags

Every night I step into that ring
I fight for my life and I fight for everything
But I get beat to the ground and I'll left for dead
It's hard to hold on when you're holding on by a thread

But I've got a ticket for the lottery that better win
Cos I've had more going out than I've had coming in
Now there's so many other guys just like me
At the Grangemouth gates fighting for the same vacancy

There's no hope in hard times for us
We get by darlin' but only just
And there's no riches at the end of these rags
So if you're looking for me tonight
You'll find me at Salisbury crags

Well maybe one day we'll find a time
When we won't have to try so hard
And we can follow the sunset from city to city
And forget how deep this thing scarred
