Factory shutdown Lyrics

There may still be a heart but it doesn't beat anymore

Not like it did all those years ago when you took up your place on the floor

The smell the noise stayed with you it followed you night and day

But nobody seemed to care much I guess that was just how it was, and just their way

Factory shutdown they once built a station

Factory shutdown it's now all automation

There's no easy work in this town anymore

There's nothing much to do and sod all to get up for

Factory shutdown it's not like it used to be

The social club has been closed down

It's standing there empty

Where a son would follow his father just as he did before

Now they've switched the lights off and shown you the door

There may still be the lungs but they don't breathe like they did

They choked their last some time ago when I was just a kid

Do you look over your shoulder to see if it might have come back

At least the air tastes nicer these days no longer gritty and black

Factory shutdown they once built a station

Factory shutdown it's now all automation

There's no easy work in this town anymore

There's nothing much to do and sod all to get up for

Factory shutdown it's not like it used to be

The social club has been closed down

It's standing there empty

Where a son would follow his father just as he did before

Now they've switched the lights off and shown you the door

Now it's all gone east

That's the nature of the beast

Famine where you once had feast

And now it rests in peace

Factory shutdown they once built a station

Factory shutdown it's now all automation

There's no easy work in this town anymore

There's nothing much to do and sod all to get up for

Factory shutdown it's not like it used to be

The social club has been closed down

It's standing there empty

Where a son would follow his father just as he did before

Now they've switched the lights off and shown you the door
