When machinery loses its past
The damaged faces who were present
Northern shadows, they be cast
Lifeline's lost in the town's chest
You sail through history, clear the mess
Ancient roads expose what's been left

When dust in the soot
Carries feet of the men
Fell behind, the future's in the pen
Lifeline's lost in the town of the masses
Why bother when you can sit on your ass
Saving all the pennies
Working when to spend
For city folk it's hard to comprehend

And the textile town of the north
Where industry was born and brought forth
And as Mark E Smith once famously quipped
The north will rise again

Master cutler
Master steel maker
Formidable
Master Cutler
Save your formidable

When machinery loses
Past past
The dead faces that won't
Last last
Northern shadows be
Cast cast
Just another

Lifeline's lost in the town of the masses
Why bother when you can sit on your ass
