lyrics

Not far away there's a town that's broke
You can taste the wind, you can swallow smoke And the dirt runs deep where the water flows
But the pay is steady on the Scalehouse Road

The man wears a suit, gold watch and chain
He's never scraped coal for the Shiretown train
Who bears the weight of the heavy load
In the trucks that hammer down the Scalehouse Road

We took a penny, they stole a pound
Big dreams fell to the ground
Where the sun don't shine and the wind blows cold
The wheels keep turning on the Scalehouse Road

You can turn away when the smoke comes 'round
It creeps on the water to the harbour town
And the smell of money it burns with bone
We don't talk about that on the Scalehouse Road

We took a penny, they stole a pound
Big dreams fell to the ground
Where the sun don't shine and the wind blows cold
The wheels keep turning on the Scalehouse Road

Behind the gates is the big machine
All trouble and rust, it's never been clean
Let it all come down, let it all explode
Let it fall to ashes on the Scalehouse Road

We took a penny, they stole a pound
Big dreams fell to the ground
Where the sun don't shine, and the wind blows cold
The wheels keep turning
We took a penny, they stole a pound
Big dreams fell to the ground
Where the sun don't shine and the wind blows cold
The wheels keep turning on the Scalehouse Road
The wheels keep turning on the Scalehouse Road
