1
5.15 a.m.
2
snow laying all around
3
a collier cycles home
4
from his night shift underground
5
past the silent pub
6
primary school, workingmens club
7
on the road from the pithead
8
the churchyard packed
9
with mining dead
10
then beneath the bridge
11
he comes to a giant car
12
a shroud of snow upon the roof
13
a mark ten jaguar
14
he thought the man was fast asleep
15
silent, still and deep
16
both dead and cold
17
shot through
18
with bullet holes
19
the one armed bandit man
20
came north to fill his boots
21
came up from cockneyland
22
e-type jags and flashy suits
23
put your money in
24
pull the levers
25
watch them spin
26
cash cows in all the pubs
27
but he preferred the new nightclubs
28
nineteen sixty-seven
29
bandit men in birdcage heaven
30
la dolce vita, sixty-nine
31
all new to people of the tyne
32
who knows who did what
33
somebody made a call
34
they said his hands
35
were in the pot
36
that heâ"š¬â"ž¢d been skimming hauls
37
he picks up the swag
38
they gaily gave away
39
drives his giant jag
40
off to his big pay day
41
the bandit man
42
came north to fill his boots
43
came up from cockneyland
44
e-type jags and flashy suits
45
the bandit man
46
came up the great north road
47
up to geordieland
48
to mine
49
the mother lode
50
seams blew up or cracked
51
black diamonds came hard won
52
generations toiled and hacked
53
for a pittance and black lung
54
crushed by tub or stone
55
together
56
and alone
57
how the young and old
58
paid the price of coal
59
eighteen sixty-seven
60
my angelâ"š¬â"ž¢s gone to heaven
61
heâ"š¬â"ž¢ll be happy there
62
sunlight and sweet clean air
63
they gather round the glass
64
tough hewers and crutters
65
child trappers and putters
66
the little foals and half-marrows
67
who pushed
68
and pulled the barrows
69
the hod boys
70
and the rolleywaymen
71
5.15 a.m.
