Walking In Your Footsteps Walking On The Moon Waters Of Tyne* We Work The Black Seam We'll Be Together We're Sending Our Love Down The Well* --------------------------------------------------------------------- Walking in Your Footsteps Fifty million years ago You walked upon the planet so, Lord of all that you could see Just a little bit like me, Walking in your footsteps, Walking in your footsteps. Walking in your footsteps, Walking in your footsteps. Hey Mr. Dinosaur you really couldn't ask for more You were God's favorite creature but you didn't have a future, Walking in your footsteps, Walking in your footsteps. Walking in your footsteps, Walking in your footsteps. Hey there mighty Brontosaurus don't you have a lesson for us You thought your rule would always last There were no lessons in your past You were built three stories high They say you would not hurt a fly If we explode the atom bomb would they say that we were dumb. Walking in your footsteps, Walking in your footsteps. Walking in your footsteps, Walking in your footsteps. Fifty million years ago They walked upon the planet so They live in a museum It's the only place you'll see 'em. Walking in your footsteps......... They say the meek shall inherit the earth.... Walking in your footsteps......... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Walking on the Moon Giant steps are what you take Walking on the moon I hope my legs don't break Walking on the moon We could walk forever Walking on the moon We could live together Walking on, walking on the moon Walking back from your house Walking on the moon Walking back from your house Walking on the moon Feet they hardly touch the ground Walking on the moon My feet don't hardly make no sound Walking on, walking on the moon Some may say I'm wishing my days away No way And if it's the price I pay Some say Tomorrow's another day You stay I may as well play Giant steps are what you take Walking on the moon I hope my legs don't break Walking on the moon We could walk forever Walking on the moon We could be together Walking on, walking on the moon Some may say I'm wishing my days away No way And if it's the price I pay Some say Tomorrow's another day You stay I may as well play Keep it up --------------------------------------------------------------------- Waters of Tyne I cannot get to my love if I would die; For the water of Tyne runs between her and me And here I must stand with a tear in my 'ee, Both sighing and sickly, my sweetheart to see. I cannot get to my love if I would die; For the waters of Tyne run between her and me And here I must stand with a tear in my 'ee, Both sighing and sickly, my sweetheart to see. Oh, where is the boatman, my bonny hinney? Oh, where is the boatman? Bring him to me To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey And I will remember the boatman and thee. Oh, bring me a boatman, I'll give any money And you for your trouble rewarded shall be To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey Or scull her across the rough river to me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- We Work the Black Seam This place has changed for good Your economic theory said it would It's hard for us to understand We can't give up our jobs the way we should Our blood has stained the coal We tunneled deep inside the nation's soul We matter more than pounds and pence Your economic theory makes no sense One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together We work the black seam together The seam lies underground Three million years of pressure packed it down We walk through ancient forest lands And light a thousand cities with our hands Your dark satanic mills Have made redundant all our mining skills You can't exchange a six inch band For all the poisoned streams in Cumberland One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together We work the black seam together Our conscious lives run deep You cling onto your mountain while we sleep This way of life is part of me There is no price so only let me be And should the children weep The turning world will sing their souls to sleep When you have sunk without a trace The universe will suck me into place One day in a nuclear age They may understand our rage They build machines that they can't control And bury the waste in a great big hole Power was to become cheap and clean Grimy faces were never seen But deadly for twelve thousand years is carbon fourteen We work the black seam together We work the black seam together --------------------------------------------------------------------- We'll Be Together I see me with you and all the things you do Keep turning round and round in my mind Forget the weather we should always be together And any other thought is unkind To have you with me I would swim the seven seas To have you as my guide and my light My love is a flame that burns in your name We'll be together We'll be together tonight We'll be together, yeah We'll be together, yeah We'll be together, yeah I see you with me and all I want to be Is dancing here with you in my arms Forget the weather we should always be together I'll always be a slave to your charms To have you with me I would swim the seven seas To have you as the guide in my life My love is a flame that burns in your name We'll be together We'll be together We'll be together, yeah We'll be together, yeah We'll be together, yeah Call me baby. You can call me anything you want Call me baby Call me Just call me We'll be together, yeah We'll be together, yeah I see you with me and baby makes three I see me with you and all the things we do Forget the weather we should always be together I need you as my guide and my light My love is the flame that burns in your name We'll be together We'll be together tonight --------------------------------------------------------------------- We're Sending Our Love Down the Well There's a hole in my heart, As deep as a well, For that poor little boy, Who's stuck halfway to hell, Though we can't get him out, We'll do the next best thing, We go on TV, And sing, sing, sing. And we're sending our love down the well, All the way down. We're sending our love down the well, Down that well. |
