Abandon Ship

Every day’s different…but largely the same
this village is walking the plank
it’s destined to drop off the road maps
and no-one will know where it sank

abandon the ship ‘cos there’s nothing left here
the past’s dead and gone and the future’s not clear
and the old man he coughs and he splutters
as he brings up the fruits of his toil
as he drags on the woodbine that one day
gonna drag him down into the soil

He’s always intended to die here
perhaps that explains why he laughed
‘cos he knows he won’t find the direction in life
that he lost when he fell UP that shaft

So they landscape the slag heaps around us
and leave us to rot in the streets
of a village that once got knocked flat on it’s arse
and just couldn’t get back on it’s feet

i’m gonna drown in a wave of nostalgia
bringing turnips back home from the tip
you can go jump in a lifeboat
i want to go down with my ship
