[00:00:00] Tales Of The Riverbank - The Lightning Seeds

[00:00:02] Written by：Ian Broudie

[00:00:44] Fourteen hours of working shifts

[00:00:46] In early morning mersey mists

[00:00:49] Too tired to taste

[00:00:50] The cornflakes on your tongue

[00:00:54] As morning hits the docks

[00:00:56] You dream of all the ships there must have been

[00:01:00] A river full of everything that it's not

[00:01:07] And if your life's not meant to feel like this

[00:01:18] Maybe it's time for someone to resist

[00:01:27] The riverbank could tell you tales

[00:01:30] Of working lives ship with sails

[00:01:33] Jobs were passed from fathers to their sons

[00:01:38] Sometimes it comes down to you

[00:01:41] The many to protect the few

[00:01:43] Unless you cross the line your jobs are gone

[00:01:50] If it takes a thousand days we'll never stop

[00:02:01] Tell it a thousand ways you'll still be wrong

[00:02:12] Not a word in the morning paper

[00:02:17] Feels like we've been out for ages

[00:02:23] Maybe unions and players won't save us

[00:02:28] But there's nothing on earth can break us

[00:02:43] The strength to load a thousand ships

[00:02:46] But willing hands can turn to fists

[00:02:49] On picket lines feelings overflow

[00:02:54] A decent job for decent pay

[00:02:57] To fight if that's the only way

[00:03:00] The union says well tough you're on your own

[00:03:07] If it takes a thousand days we'll never stop

[00:03:18] Tell it a thousand ways you'll still be wrong

[00:03:28] Not a word in the morning papers

[00:03:34] Feels like we've been out for ages

[00:03:39] The unions and prayers won't save us

[00:03:45] There's nothing on earth can break us
