    The faces dreary in the crowd,
    The pissed up girls all turned up loud,
    The kids are lurking round the shop,
    Putting up signs wont make them stop.

    A young scuba diver,
    Returns from the lake,
    But there's no survivors,
    From a drunks mistake.

    The vicar shouts out off the cuff,
    But the congregation's had enough,
    He's crying naked in the gutter,
    And a Psalm becomes his last to utter.

    At St. Michaels palest walls,
    A different group are sitting down,
    A secret society of the Popes men,
    Have crossed themselves and said Amen.

    A mountain green and a slag heap,
    The old man in the coat's a creep,
    But the angry boys smashed in his face,
    To save him from a public disgrace.

    The yellow lights from a blackened vale,
    The speeding cars tell another tale,
    From the mountainside i watched with pride,
    The whole thing's been pent up inside.

    I stumble home late at night,
    Trudging uphill with all my might,
    For every step i manage to make,
    I restumble three and have a break.

    Ona rainy night at the bus stop,
    The factories as the bleak back drop,
    I tried to bring my thoughts to grips,
    But you just smiled and kissed my lips.
