Jack Bruce - Industrial Child lyrics

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 stopped berthing They're lost in the Clyde All denied Hear the tears City still smokes with fear Ghostly kids every year I'll tell you a story ‘bout coal and 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 could wake the streets From sleep They closed down the stations For whole 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
