about

A changing of the guard from one industrial overlord to the next; the air we breathe, and wondering what comes next...

lyrics

ANYMORE - Lyrics

Well the stacks came down in our old steel town
Two thousand workers walked out the gates
And lord knows what they’re all doing now
‘cause it’s not a place where things get made
Anymore
Anymore
All the skills went out the door
and there’s nothing made here anymore

In a year or three the air came clean
No sulfurous stench from the riverside
Just dirty empty land where the works had been
No blast furnace orange skies
Anymore
Anymore
The air was cleaner than before when
the Big Australian went offshore

But you’ve gotta be careful what you wish for
What’s gonna fill the void when the old man dies?
A city doesn’t run on pride

Well the clean air didn’t last long at all
'cause Old King Coal grew out of control
Now we pay the price where the coal dust falls
and the boilermaker’s still on the dole
He works no more
Anymore
Coal will always leave you poor
And it’s time we showed the King the door.

But you’ve gotta be careful what you wish for…
