He met with the world as a Dalkeith boy,
Raised from a shaft at Monktonhall
In a well oiled cage,
SOLThat locked away his dreams.
REAn '85 veteran facefrom the gallery,
A ghost from the civil war in the family,
DOHe stood his ground on the picketline.
'Til all that he was left with,
REWere his father's cough
And his mother's eyes.
That would hold a tear
For the very first time,
DO SOLWhen the government took his job away.
Now fist in hand he'll stand in line.
Declare his name and mark his time.
To some the only proof that they're alive.
He could have been you. _|
He could have been me. |
MIb x 2He could have been anybody |
But he was born lucky. _|

He mad his first downpayment,
On a sharp Italian suit.
MIb SIbHe sewed razor blades into the lapels,
FASee him sweating on the dancefloor.
Coal dust oozing out of every pore.
MIbA hard man with a hard life,
And that's a story that he'll tell you,
FADown at Easter Road till his throat is raw.
On a Saturday, he knows the score,
MIbTill the whistle blows and,
SIbThe tempers with their colours fade away.
{CHORUS}
On the helipads at Aberdeen
Bound for platforms drilling oil rich seas,
DOWhere the trawlers are getting fewer
Every year.
REBy the furnaces at Ravenscraig,
By the padlocks holding John Brown's gates,
DO SOLIn the desert, in the fields of South Armagh,
REWhere the poppies grow,
Behind the Hampden roar,
Behind the drums in Genoa.
DO SOLOn the deck that rides a south Atlantic swell,
REBorn to fight out of the tightest corner.
You can bet on him with the odds against you,
DOThey'll not put him down
No matter how hard they try.
{CHORUS}
