  5.15 a.m., snow laying all around
  A collier cycles home, from his night shift unde  rground
  Past the silent pub, primary school, workingmens club
  On the road from the pithead,
The churchyard   packed with mining   dead
 
 
  Then beneath the bridge, he comes to a giant car
A   shroud of snow upon the roof, a mark ten j  aguar
  He thought the man was fast asleep, silent, still and deep
  Both dead and cold, shot   through with bulle  t holes
 
 
  The one armed bandit man
Came north to fill his boots
  Came up from cockneyland
E-type jags and flashy suits
  Put your money in, pull the levers, watch them spin
  Cash cows in all the pubs
But he preferred the new nightclubs
 
 
  Nineteen sixty-seven
Bandit men in birdcage heaven
  La dolce vita, sixty-nine
  All new to people of the tyne
 
 
     
 
 
  Who knows who did what, somebody made a call
They   said his hands, were in the pot
That he'd been skimming   hauls
  He picks up the swag, they gaily gave away
  Drives his giant jag, off   to his big pa  y day
 
 
  The bandit man, came north to fill his boots
  Came up from cockneyland, E-type jags and flashy suits
 
 
  The bandit man, came up the great north road
  Up to geordieland, to mine, the mother lode
 
 
  ...
 
 
  Seams blew up or cracked, black diamonds came hard won
  Generations toiled and hacked
For a pittance and black   lung
  Crushed by tub or stone, together, and alone
  How the young and old, paid the   price o  f coal
 
 
  Eighteen sixty-seven
My angel's gone to heaven
  He'll be happy there
  Sunlight and sweet clean air
 
 
     
 
 
  They gather round the glass, tough hewers and crutters
  Child trappers and putters
The little foals   and half  -marrows
  Who pushed
And pulled the   barrows
  The hod boys
And the   rolleywaymen
 
 
  5.15 a.m.
