Industrial Child Songtext
von Jack Bruce

Tell you a story of grief and grime
′Bout a time left behind
So many people without a chance
Lost their place in the dance
Big ships stop berthing
They're lost in the Lough Clyde
All denied, here it is
City still smokes with fear
Ghostly kids every year


I′ll tell you a story 'bout rollin' steel, so real
Hope keeps on losing
The money that′s running
The town coming down
Lights keep on hiding their eyes
There′s no room for surprise

I'll tell you a story
Can wake the streets from sleep
They closed down the stations
For all generations
Of trains in the grey rain
I′ll tell you a story I can't forget
Tell you of faces that I remember yet
