Ghost Town

Written by：R Cowie/T Mensforth

The chimneys as black as future

All the faces grey as stone

Thanks very much

Margaret

For the work that you have done

Just pull out fingers

Clean with snow

Just like the metal when it melts

At the top there is just scum

Echoes in the street

It's a ghost town

Buildings has lost it's heat

It's a ghost town

Words that roll of your tongue

It's a ghost town

The dole has just begun

It's a ghost town

Pride is of the essence

And when you take it away

There isn't much to live for

With the working day

Those consett men had their pride

And their jobs of steel

Now they stand in the dole queue

With their hands outstretched

Yes that's

The way to kill a town

Yes that's

The way to kill a town
