Tearing Our Industry Down

歌詞

They're tearing the hearts from our people They're tearing the hearts from our towns They're tearing the hearts from our women and men They're tearing our industry down They shut down the coalfields of Scotland And changed forever the life Of the families and miners of Lothian In Lanarkshire, Ayrshire and Fife And it's them that they promised a dockyard But thought was the name of the game They were promises made to be broken And they're closing the Clyde just the same They're tearing the hearts from our people They're tearing the hearts from our towns They're tearing the hearts from our women and men They're tearing our industry down The steel men clocked in for the nightshift Not knowing by morning they'd lost Their fight to keep the plants open Ravenscraig stands apart And where are the shipyards of Clydeside That built the great liners with pride Famed for their skill the world over They've let this great industry die They're tearing the hearts from our people They're tearing the hearts from our towns They're tearing the hearts from our women and men They're tearing our industry down Out engineers roam the world over And the power station shackles are gone Locomotives and mighty coal cutters Now most of these works gave closed down And what will our workers do now, boys? Now that our industry's gone They'll all have to sign on the dole, boys And the government don't give a damn They're tearing the hearts from our people They're tearing the hearts from our towns They're tearing the hearts from our women and men They're tearing our industry down They're tearing the hearts from our people They're tearing the hearts from our towns They're tearing the hearts from our women and men They're tearing our industry down They've torn our industry down
