Ravenscraig

Word came like a hammer Night fell down like a shroud And it's caught me drinking, trying to turn back the clock Through this industrial ghost town I've known graft and I've voted well Trying to keep the Lowlands red But all I gets control in foreign hands Other colours instead All I want is a roof over my head All I want is a steady job All I want to do is say I love you With every penny I've got And all I think about are Debbie and Jane To give them some kind of chance in life But the long road running out the strip mill gate Has got me walking that line We never stretched our dance hall dreams We got it just about right There's little escape from a working town And from a working life I placed my future in the palm of your hand One autumn Friday at the Church of All Saints There's no investment here in life or in love And now it's getting too late All I want is a roof over my head All I want is a steady job All I want to do is say I love you With every penny I've got And all I think about are Debbie and Jane To give them some kind of chance in life But the long road running out the strip mill gate Has got me walking that line Has got me walking that line Has got me walking that line
