You wake up in the morning and dawn's as black as night
Your mother
shouting up the stairs and you know she's winning the fight
So you'd best venture out of your
bed, me lad, for you know it's getting late
And it's down the stairs and up the road and
through the factory gate
Chorus
Turning steel how do you feel
As in the
chuck you spin?
If you felt like me you'd roll right out
And never roll back
in
It's wet and bleak, the morning as you squeeze in through the gate
As you clock
on, your bell will ring, eight hours is your fate
Off comes your coat all wet and cold and
"Right, lads" is the cry
With an eye on the clock and the other on your lathe, you'll wish
that
time could fly
The gaffer's walking down the shop and so it's work you
must
The grinding, groaning, spinning metal hotter than the dust
And I'm often dreaming of
me girl as we're walking through the park
Whilst I'm gazing on that blueing steel and a million
flying sparks
Now old Tom Black, last Friday his final bell did ring
With his hair
as white as his face beneath and his oily sunken skin
Now he's made a speech and he's bid
farewell to a lifetime working here
And as I shook his hand I felt I'd labored forty
years
So when my time it comes and at last I leave this place
I'll walk out past the
charge-hand's desk, never turn my face
Up to the gates into the sun, and I'll leave it all
behind me
With one regret, for the lads I have left to carry on their
grind
