Tales Of The Riverbank - The Lightning Seeds[00:00:00]

Written by：Ian Broudie[00:00:02]

Fourteen hours of working shifts[00:00:44]

In early morning mersey mists[00:00:46]

Too tired to taste[00:00:49]

The cornflakes on your tongue[00:00:50]

As morning hits the docks[00:00:54]

You dream of all the ships there must have been[00:00:56]

A river full of everything that it's not[00:01:00]

And if your life's not meant to feel like this[00:01:07]

Maybe it's time for someone to resist[00:01:18]

The riverbank could tell you tales[00:01:27]

Of working lives ship with sails[00:01:30]

Jobs were passed from fathers to their sons[00:01:33]

Sometimes it comes down to you[00:01:38]

The many to protect the few[00:01:41]

Unless you cross the line your jobs are gone[00:01:43]

If it takes a thousand days we'll never stop[00:01:50]

Tell it a thousand ways you'll still be wrong[00:02:01]

Not a word in the morning paper[00:02:12]

Feels like we've been out for ages[00:02:17]

Maybe unions and players won't save us[00:02:23]

But there's nothing on earth can break us[00:02:28]

The strength to load a thousand ships[00:02:43]

But willing hands can turn to fists[00:02:46]

On picket lines feelings overflow[00:02:49]

A decent job for decent pay[00:02:54]

To fight if that's the only way[00:02:57]

The union says well tough you're on your own[00:03:00]

If it takes a thousand days we'll never stop[00:03:07]

Tell it a thousand ways you'll still be wrong[00:03:18]

Not a word in the morning papers[00:03:28]

Feels like we've been out for ages[00:03:34]

The unions and prayers won't save us[00:03:39]

There's nothing on earth can break us[00:03:45]
