Barrett' s Song - Brian D'Arcy James[00:00:00]

She's sparkling clean this new born ship[00:00:11]

But one old thing is clear[00:00:14]

The orders they propose above[00:00:16]

We excuse down here[00:00:20]

We'll watch form here as up above[00:00:23]

They'll catch a whiff of glory[00:00:26]

This wonder ship may be brand new[00:00:30]

But it's the same old story[00:00:35]

Stoke the fire in the hold[00:00:42]

As the men draw back[00:00:44]

Feed the heat in the hold[00:00:47]

As the men draw back[00:00:48]

And the dust of the coal in the air is black[00:00:49]

And a trickle of sweat runs down your back[00:00:51]

And what are the boys from the midlands doing here[00:00:56]

Coal it is that makes the steam[00:01:13]

That runs the machines that run the world[00:01:15]

That sends the men below the ground[00:01:16]

To mine the coal[00:01:18]

Each day[00:01:22]

From leicestershire and nottingham[00:01:28]

Us lads who worked down in the pit[00:01:30]

Knew if you got above the ground[00:01:32]

You'd save your soul[00:01:34]

Some way[00:01:37]

Get out of the pit[00:01:40]

And westward I knew I could run[00:01:42]

And ship out to sea and there my new life was begun[00:01:47]

And the screws are turning at seventy-one[00:01:54]

It became my dream to go out to sea[00:01:58]

Further out from the mine you couldn't be[00:02:01]

But born to the coal there's no place for you elsewhere[00:02:06]

You trade a life of dank and gloom[00:02:13]

To shovel in the boiler room[00:02:15]

But now your seven decks below[00:02:17]

A lady's dainty feet[00:02:19]

And nothing has changed[00:02:25]

There's nothing a miner can do[00:02:27]

The pit and your mates[00:02:32]

Turned into the hold and the crew[00:02:34]

And the screws are turning at seventy-two[00:02:39]

Faster and faster we watch as we gain ever more[00:02:43]

Seventy-three and too soon it is seventy-four[00:02:50]

For a record speed I believe we strive[00:02:57]

For the maiden ship that's too hard to drive[00:03:00]

If you push her faster than seventy-five[00:03:04]

That is the truth[00:03:09]

I swear[00:03:14]
