Black Five Lyrics by Dave Goulder

Requiem for Steam

0

[Verse 1]
When you’re tumbling out of your bed
You don’t know if you’re dead or alive
And you make your way through the wakening day
Till you’re climbing aboard a Black Five
[Verse 2]
Well you’re leaving the station behind
And you’re shoveling mile after mile
And the kids all wave at the master and slave
And the passengers riding in style
[Verse 3]
Well you’re up and you’re groping for coal
For the fire has blinded your eyes
Fill the boiler’s need and the fire hole’s greed
As you blacken the sun and the sky
[Verse 4]
She goes hammering over the hill
And you’re bloody near roasted alive
Like a hound of steel riding runaway wheels
There’s a devil astride a Black Five
