Ben Crawley Steel Company — текст песни (Electric Light Orchestra)

The next train arrives on here at five o nine

Im standing where my daddy used to be

To follow his footsteps takes me three stops down the line

Down to the ben crawley steel company



Well I tried my hand at ranching but this didnt come off

Seems nothing in that for me

It always tried my patience which I havent enough

Im destined to work in a steel company



Just you wait at home for me little woman

By now I should know how lovely you will be

Waiting by the door for me little woman

Now I wont moan when I get home from the ben crawley steel company



When crawley makes the jokes and four guys laugh a lot

Damn, force a grin if you can

I got so many words on the tip of my tongue to shoot him down

But hed soon replace a mere steel driving man



Just you wait at home for me little woman

Although I know you wont be as tired as me

Waiting by the door for me little woman [my true lovin woman]

Well I wont slack when I get back from the ben crawley steel company



Well Ive had my fill and its giving me hell, now its time for hate

Thanks mister for telling me

So Ill shoot if I can and I wont [dont] give a damn about playing it

Straight

My friends and the lord know what hes done [he did] to me



Hes being staying at home with my little woman

Playing in the fields where I should always be

Its hard to forgive my own little woman

And to find a job cos I just blew up that steel company

Heh!
