about

And old timey, folky feel song based on a UK couple throughout the industrial rise.

lyrics

DOVER CLIFFS

Hold me close till the morning
When you go where they send
Another endless summer wondering
Will I ever see you again


Take my hand for the evening
We can dance the night away
For tomorrow I’ll be leaving
How I wish I could stay


But the war, she is raging
Like a storm off Dover cliff
We must fight for king and country
We must fight that we might live


As we stare down the barrel
Of a Black Country cave
Fell the fear in my fingers
Will I ever see you again


I see your face in the darkness
Broken backs, we pay to the man
Made for more, puppets plunder
Hold our strings so we can stand


But the wheels they need turning
A revolution of iron and steel
We must grind our bones for progress
If we’re to eat then we must bleed


END – Behind the glass
We lose connection
On Plastic Seas
We see our end
