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. Chorus
