Electric Light Orchestra - Ben Crawley Steel Company lyrics

The next train arrives on here at five o nine I'm standing where my daddy used to be To follow his footsteps takes me three stops down the line Down to the ben crawley steel company Well i tried my hand at ranching but this didn't come off Seems nothing in that for me It always tried my patience which i haven't enough I'm destined to work in a steel company Just you wait at home for me little woman By now i should know how lovely you will be Waiting by the door for me little woman Now i wont moan when i get home from the ben crawley steel company When crawley makes the jokes and four guys laugh a lot Damn, force a grin if you can I got so many words on the tip of my tongue to shoot him down But he'd soon replace a mere steel driving man Just you wait at home for me little woman Although i know you won't be as tired as me Waiting by the door for me little woman [my true lovin' woman] Well i won't slack when i get back from the ben crawley steel company Well i've had my fill and it's giving me hell, now it's time for hate Thanks mister for telling me So i'll shoot if i can and i won't [don't] give a damn about playing it Straight My friends and the lord know what he's done [he did] to me He's being staying at home with my little woman Playing in the fields where i should always be It's hard to forgive my own little woman And to find a job 'cos i just blew up that steel company Heh!
