about

Never Thought I’d See the Day is a continent spanning 1st person narrative that starts during the brutalities of the 1984/5 UK Miners Strike and ends in an explosion of pot smoke and pollution on a mountaintop in Kentucky.

lyrics

Never thought I’d see the day
They’re opening the mines again
So long again and miles away
Never thought I’d see the day

Never thought about the daylight
Heads about in darkness bendin
Threats of closures never endin
Nothing left to do but fight

There were soldiers dressed as police
Come from Scotland and from England
To crack some eggs and break some teeth
To tame the enemy within

Before they voted to go back
I left my wife and moved to Brixton
I broke some bloody student’s nose
Called us traitors called us quitters

I did my time I did not stay
I’m growing pot in Martin County
They blew the mountaintop away
Never thought I’d see the day

Never thought we’d lose the strike
Never thought I’d see the day
