Alarm - Deeside lyrics
rate meHey now!<br />
<br />
The iron gates clang in a steel mill town<br />
A man breaks down to that unemployment sound<br />
He takes a last walk down that old coast road<br />
In the dying death throes of all that he knows<br />
The sight of those men walking through the gates<br />
Was like a lame pit pony at the end of it's days<br />
<br />
(Fire, Fire, Fire)<br />
<br />
In a Deeside town eight thousand went down<br />
In a February day in the driving rain<br />
No winners just losers and cuts and bruises<br />
As the picket lines fell, the industry died<br />
There's still one question after all this time<br />
Is a working man bom to live and then die?<br />
<br />
Fire Fire Fire.<br />
<br />
To build the ships to set the sails<br />
To cross the sea of fools<br />
To be dealt the cards<br />
To play our hand<br />
To win or else to lose<br />
In this cruel world that kicks a man when he's down<br />
<br />
(Down to the ground)<br />
<br />
(Hey now)<br />
<br />
And Lady Luck smiles on the few in this world<br />
And I hope and I pray that she smiles on you<br />
I ain't gonna preach, no I ain't gonna teach<br />
I 'm just gonna sing about the things that I need<br />
<br />
A little bit of love, a little bit of hope<br />
A little bit of strength, some fuel for the fire<br />
<br />
(Fire Fire Fire)<br />
<br />
To build the ships to set the sails<br />
To cross the sea of fools<br />
To be dealt the cards <br />
To play our hand<br />
To win or else to lose<br />
In this cruel world that kicks a man when he's down.<br />
<br />
(Down to the ground)<br />
<br />
A little bit of love, a little bit of hope<br />
A little bit of strength, some fuel for the fire<br />
<br />
(Fire Fire Fire)<br />
<br />
To build the ships to set the sails<br />
To cross the sea of fools<br />
To be dealt the cards<br />
To play our hand<br />
To win or else to lose<br />
In this cruel world that kicks a man when he's down.<br />
<br />
And all around the world the lights are going down.
