lyrics

AALL FAALL DOON

There's a rumbling started underground
But it's falling on deaf ears
But who gives a shite what you think about it
We'll just grab ourselves some more beers
And someone said “If we close our eyes
It might just go away”
But we sang a song for collier lads
And one for the lass down on the quay
But still you never came down the waggon way

And in your town the land of clowns
It's just another day
You are still afraid you run and hide
You won't come out to play
And you've misunderstood everything we've ever said
And every point we've ever tried to make
But if I see you dancing on Mr Armstrong's grave
I'll come and give you a bloody good smack
Just to let you know that you don't know the crack

You stick your head in a hole in the ground
And wait for a time when we'll all fall down
But had away you stupid clown
We'll never go away

And in the land of fantasy
Where you seem to live
The ugly frog will become a handsome prince
But it will be too late then to forgive
And your writer's pen is spilling bad ink
Your mouth doesn't know what it's saying
It's in the place where your arse should be
So kiss yourself goodbye and be on your way
I never want to see you for the rest of my days

There's a rumbling started underground
But it's falling on deaf ears
And if you try to stop it
It will only end in tears
And someone said “If we close our eyes
It might just go away”
But we sang a song; we’ve just begun!
And then we headed back down the waggon way
The bonnie pit laddie is here to stay

(Gary Miller)
