Down in the valley, the valley so low,
Lay the town over and hear the winds blow,
Lay the town over and dig it all in,
For what we once had will not come again.
The people are crying, the people are down,
They look at the crevice where once lived a town,
And it's not for the money, they cry not for the blame
They just cry for a ghost town, such a great shame.
Take six politicians and dig me a grave
Take six intellectuals, my soul try to save
And six union workers, a red flag to wave
And one stupid singer to rant and to rave...
Now Old King Coal was a merry old soul
Such a merry old soul was he,
Cause he fed my dad, he fed my mum,
He fed us children three.
And I remember Old Coach Road,
And the pine trees by its side
And I remember the playground there,
And every swing and slide.
It's goodbye to you my old grey friend
Soon your days are at an end
They'll dig you up, tear you down,
Goodbye to you - Industrial Town.
In the morning when the sun came up
On commission housing, there,
We could feel the ash from the mine sometimes
Come floating through the air.
But times were good and we didn't mind
About the chimneys and their mess.
Oh no, three meals a day, a sleep at night,
We couldn't have cared less.
It's goodbye to you my old grey friend
Soon your days are at an end
They'll dig you up, tear you down,
Goodbye to you - Industrial Town.
Time moved on, we moved away
How a young child soon forgets,
Twelve years later I returned,
And I see with regret
Empty houses, empty streets,
Not a single soul to meet,
Sold right out, damned on whim,
Sing this chorus, sing this hymn.
Goodbye to you my old grey friend
Soon your days are at an end
They'll dig you up, tear you down,
Goodbye to you - Industrial Town.
Industrial Town, Industrial Town, Industrial Town

Other Wedding Parties Anything song Lyrics
  • BIG RIVER
    "He came up from the country looking for a job of work,
    He came from a town that died a slow hard death,
    And when the train pulled into Spencer Street, he was fast asleep.
    He opened one eye and he took a long deep breath...."
  • BRUNSWICK
    "In the summer all the old men, they sit on their front porches,
    While the women comb their hair, shell their peas
    And wonder what they've missed.
    And the forlorn children scan the streets..."
  • GUN
    "A bunch of withered roses lie, a faded silhouette
    Caught you jumpin' in the deep end last night, but it hasn't happened yet.
    They're tying up your body with some rusty Number 8 and they say,
    Too early with your run, son...."
  • MISSING IN ACTION
    "And after all this time why must you be
    Missing in action, missing in action?
    And after all these years why must you be
    Missing in action, missing in action?..."
  • MORTON SONG FOR TEX
    "He stopped to change a tyre out near Warnambool,
    His Chevy it was all over the road.
    He pulled into town sometime in the early afternoon,
    More than a normal travelling salesman, the guitar his only load...."
  • SAY THE WORD
    "On a day not quite like any other
    In a land both warm and sweet,
    You were born such a proud, proud daughter
    A smirk on your face, the world at your feet...."
  • SISTERS OF MERCY
    "Oh the winds they were howlin' both ragged and cold
    Through the grey Melbourne streets in the pre-Christmas days,
    And the Sisters of Mercy looked out through their tents
    At the fires in petrol drums, they seemed to say..."
  • UNDER THE CLOCKS
    "Hey, hey, I see a Melbourne girl on a rusty Malvern Star,
    Through the spastic Northcote streets at dawn
    See the way her hair's tied back,
    Her cheeks so red, a grey coat ragged and worn...."
