about

Blue Scars Of A Miner is the perfect closer for the album. This live recording from The Hideout in Chicago captures all the wistful, blurry regret of “last call,”
as we raise our empty glasses to Welsh superman Tom Jones and “another chorus of Delilah...”

lyrics

Is there life after coal?
What future for the collier?
The scab and the hardliner both
Wear the blues scars of a miner

Rising up now from the earth
We’re branded and we’re blinded
The sunlight and the dole queue boast
The blue scars of a miner

Is there anything but drink
Drugs and last reminders
A single teardrop rolling down
The blue scars of a miner

And in my dreams I work again
And what was lost I find
Pockets full down at the club
A chorus of “Delilah”

Now I’ll lay be down to die
Let the darkness bind us
What I earned I earned for you
The blue scars of a miner
