| Lights Out by
Robert Parr
I work hard me
In a hostile environment
Of molten metal and fumes
Whilst an air-conditioned man
In a suit assumes
I'm just a number in personnel
A plastic coated barcode
Someone he's never met - and yet
I'm just a symbol of the manufacture sell off.
In a town full of political lies and paisley ties
A metamorphosis of commerce and riverside luxury
I work hard me.
In Viking negative equity
Thirty minutes for dinner
And ten for a cup of tea
Whilst an air-conditioned man
In a Daimler presumes
That I've become a liability.
A blot on the landscape of the company stats
An industrial failure
No longer able to feed the fat cats
They blame the strength of the pound
On why I can't make it pay
Even though I've done everything I can the Norway
(Never mind,) let's hope it's only our work that goes
Hungary.
