redundancy blues - david mcwilliams lyrics

Loading...

through many a long year my table was full
and among many others i was chosen
to stand in the heat of the factory’s hum
while the others outside they stood frozen

yes my head it was empty, my pockets was full
and my hands and my fingers was itching
and i laughed at the shadows that stood in the cold
while i stood full warm in the kitchen

all my children they laughed as they grew at my feet
and my woman said she loved me dearly
and my vision was blocked by the words from their mouths
so that i couldn’t see very clearly

ah, but one day a man came to my factory
stood up and said this place is closing
said i’m sorry my friends, we can’t keep you here
for far too much money we’re losing

now the winter is here and my hands they are numb
and for me every door says no entry
there’s no turf on the fire, and my heart is so cold
and my belly is always so empty

now my woman and children have left me alone
and lower and lower i’m sinking
there’s no money left for me to take down
to drown all my troubles in drinking
