miners strike
1984, the year I was born
A turbulent time, to strike if you mine.
Industrial action, is just a reaction
From Kent the North-East, Yorkshire and the Valleys.
Itâs hanging over us, created by the pit closures
And Maggie got her way.
âThe Ladyâs not for turningâ on the enemy she says within
And the people donât eat today.
The people are freezing cold today.
Poverty stricken, communities are ruined
Families go hungry, well this is modern Britain!
25 years later, people are still bitter
Understandably so, we now import cheap coal
Itâs hanging over us, created by the pit closures
And Maggie got her way.
Itâs economic ruin so weâre stopping milk for children
And the children donât eat today.
The children are freezing cold today.
