[00:11.57]She's sparkling clean this new born ship
[00:14.19]But one old thing is clear
[00:15.64]
[00:16.58]The orders they propose above
[00:18.57]
[00:20.09]We excuse down here
[00:21.73]
[00:23.95]We'll watch form here as up above
[00:26.45]They'll catch a whiff of glory
[00:28.10]
[00:30.45]This wonder ship may be brand new
[00:33.96]
[00:35.95]But it's the same old story
[00:40.02]
[00:42.66]Stoke the fire in the hold
[00:44.98]As the men draw back
[00:46.17]
[00:47.32]Feed the heat in the hold
[00:48.57]As the men draw back
[00:49.65]And the dust of the coal in the air is black
[00:51.70]And a trickle of sweat runs down your back
[00:53.21]
[00:56.11]And what are the boys from the midlands doing here
[01:00.24]
[01:13.09]Coal it is that makes the steam
[01:15.04]That runs the machines that run the world
[01:16.64]That sends the men below the ground
[01:18.42]To mine the coal
[01:19.57]
[01:22.42]Each day
[01:22.96]
[01:28.83]From leicestershire and nottingham
[01:30.64]Us lads who worked down in the pit
[01:32.45]Knew if you got above the ground
[01:34.30]You'd save your soul
[01:37.43]Some way
[01:38.76]
[01:40.22]Get out of the pit
[01:41.43]
[01:42.10]And westward I knew I could run
[01:44.83]
[01:47.13]And ship out to sea and there my new life was begun
[01:53.20]
[01:54.29]And the screws are turning at seventy-one
[01:56.55]
[01:58.22]It became my dream to go out to sea
[02:00.16]
[02:01.83]Further out from the mine you couldn't be
[02:03.50]
[02:06.53]But born to the coal there's no place for you elsewhere
[02:10.94]
[02:13.98]You trade a life of dank and gloom
[02:15.85]To shovel in the boiler room
[02:17.53]But now your seven decks below
[02:19.01]
[02:19.55]A lady's dainty feet
[02:23.90]
[02:25.41]And nothing has changed
[02:26.79]
[02:27.42]There's nothing a miner can do
[02:29.73]
[02:32.48]The pit and your mates
[02:34.32]Turned into the hold and the crew
[02:37.18]
[02:39.61]And the screws are turning at seventy-two
[02:41.49]
[02:43.50]Faster and faster we watch as we gain ever more
[02:47.77]
[02:50.66]Seventy-three and too soon it is seventy-four
[02:54.11]
[02:57.46]For a record speed I believe we strive
[02:59.39]
[03:00.98]For the maiden ship that's too hard to drive
[03:03.53]
[03:04.51]If you push her faster than seventy-five
[03:07.07]
[03:09.65]That is the truth
[03:11.67]
[03:14.23]I swear
