Economic refugees

0n the run to Germany
We had the back of Maggie's hand
Times were tough in geordieland
We got work tools
and working gear
An humped it all from

Newcastle to here
INSTRUMENTAL
In the dust and dirt and

the racket and the noise

Drills and hammers,

diggers and picks
Mixing concrete, laying bricks
There's English,
Irish, Scots, the lot
United nation's what we've got
Brickies, chippies, every trade

German building, British-made
Why aye man, why aye,
why aye man
Why aye, why aye,

why aye man

why aye, Why aye, why aye man

why aye, Why aye, why aye man
INSTRUMENTAL
INSTRUMENTAL
Germany's alright with me
Sometimes I miss my river Tyne
But you're my pretty Fraulein
Tonight we'll drink
the old town dry
Keep work spirit levels high
why aye, Why aye, why aye man
