The Great 1974 Mining Disaster lyrics

Heard a song the other day
About a major out in space
And though the song was kind of grey
It took me far away
Heard the news the other day
About a sailor oh so gay
And though his policies were grey
They took me far away
`Cause I couldn`t stand the thought
Of being taken in again

Have you seen my life, Mr. Groan?
Do you know what it`s like to be outside?
All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide
And you do, and you do, Mr. Groan

Heard a song just yesterday
About a man who sold the world away
And though the song was still quite grey
It took me far away
`Cause I couldn`t stand the thought
Of being taken in again

Have you seen my life, Mr. Groan?
Do you know what it`s like to be outside?
All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide
And you do, and you do, Mr. Groan
