Early morning, day is dawning
Cooling towers and factory gates
Dirty streets and laughing people
Skinny dogs and beer crates
Hello, my old friend
Hello, my old friend
Sad canals and green-black water
Somewhere, bicycles and beds
Wet and windy afternoons
And pigeons coo in garden sheds
Hello, my old friend
Hello, my old friend
High-rise tower blocks
With panoramic views of trains and coal
Tie-head railway tracks tread faithfully
The gasworks to behold
Hello, my old friend
Just to see the sunset
Pretty rainbows over your majestic towers
To feel your earth beneath my feet
Here I could stand for hours and hours
(Spatch and mail!)
(Spatch and mail!)
[Instrumental Interlude]
Big machines that once were champions
Turn to dust under the sky
Broken windows, choking chimneys
Factory walls for miles and miles
Bye bye, my old friend
Bye bye, my old friend
Just to see the sunset
Pretty rainbows over your majestic towers
To feel your earth beneath my feet
Here I could stand for hours and hours
