BACK ON THE NIGHTSHIFT
Chorus
Back on the nightshift, down at the steelworks,
Charging the furnace, tapping the slag
Home on his pushbike, he rode through the sea fret
Under the Wagga moon on a dark winter’s night.
All through the war
He worked on the furnace
Steel for the shipyards, steel for the planes
Bombs on the town, bombs on the headland
The blast furnace roared through the wind and the rain.
Chorus
After the war he worked as a foreman
Running the furnace gang, steel was their pride
Steel in their bones, steel for your bridges
The blast furnace roared and the flame never died.
Chorus
Red sky at night
The glow from the slag heap
Shone on the girls picking seacoal and shells
Shone on the gypsy kids outside the vardoes
The blast furnace roared like the fires of hell
Chorus
Thirty years on
They closed down the steelworks
Broke up the slag heap, and laid off the men
He pawned his best watch to feed the electric
The blast furnace died at the stroke of a pen.
