Barclay James Harvest - The Great 1974 Mining Disaster lyrics

Heard a song the other day About a major out in space And though the song was kind of grey It took me far away Heard the news the other day About a sailor oh so gay And though his policies were grey They took me far away 'cause i couldn't stand the thought Of being taken in again Have you seen my life, mr. groan? Do you know what it's like to be outside? All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide And you do, and you do, mr. groan Heard a song just yesterday About a man who sold the world away And though the song was still quite grey It took me far away 'cause i couldn't stand the thought Of being taken in again Have you seen my life, mr. groan? Do you know what it's like to be outside? All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide And you do, and you do, mr. groan
