The Men Below
(Skaith/Jones)

Album, tour, albumen - We're still picking at the shell
And you know we should be glad of this living
But it seems like a living hell sometimes
On this playing stage we play so hard
But so much harder still - is the life beneath, deep down in the seams
Where your hotel nights they’re the stuff of the dreams
Of the men below

Imagine, having to fight
To work two miles down from the air and the light
And imagine, having to plead
That a job that can kill you, is a job that you need

Darker still the darkness, than a pale young miner's eyes
Who had to see the convoy lights come shining
Couldn’t close off his surprise
With his one poor piece of paving, pressing hard against his palm
Knowing this could be the only way he'd ever get to spend another day
With the men below

Imagine, having to fight
To work two miles down from the air and the light
And imagine, having to plead
That a job that can kill you, is a job that you need

A bingo king is calling
It must be morning time again
And every gaudy ball that gets blown out
Seems like it's numbered 'number ten'

While on an empty bus they tried so very hard to fill up every seat
There was a method in this mad alarm
Who do you think would ever do such harm
To the men below?

Imagine, having to fight
To work two miles down from the air and the light
And imagine, having to plead
That a job that can kill you, is a job that you need

And who knows what we all owe
To the boys in the dust - to the men below?
And who knows what we all owe
To the boys in the dust - to the men below?
And who knows what we all owe
To the boys in the dust - to the men below?
