Squeeze - What Have They Done lyrics

The wind blows the ash to the furnace The steel men are sitting at home And the video game Can't replace the flame That once burned all day on the coal The wind blows along in the gutter In a rush to get out of the town Where the row of shops is sold up in lots Developers bought the whole town And in the place is a pile of bricks Where children play with sticks and stones What have they done What have they done What have they done What have they done The sunshine is bright on the ranada Where I once saw the film ??if?? Now they all stand in line For it's bingo tonight No more films with Malcom Bo??d??? The cranes on the dock are redundant Standing so tall in the sky Shuffling trolleys and docks In around in the mud The dockman has a tear is his eye And in his hand is a pint of beer No more dock sheds are here to run What have they done What have they done What have they done What have they done What have they done What have they done What have they done What have they done What have they done What have they What have they done What have they done What have they What have they done
