Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Early morning day is dawning
Cooling towers and factory gates
ย
Dirty streets and laughing people
Skinny dogs and beer crates
ย
Hello my old friend
ย
Hello my old friend
ย
Sad canals green black water
Somewhere bicycles and beds
ย
Wet and windy afternoons
And pigeons coo in garden sheds
ย
Hello my old friend
Hello my old friend
ย
High rise tower blocks with
Panoramic views of trains and coal
ย
Tiehead railway tracks tread faithfully
The gas works to behold
ย
Hello my old friend
ย
Just to see the sunset
Pretty rainbows over your majestic towers
ย
To feel your earth beneath my feet
Here I could stand for hours and hours
ย
(Young girls sing Fara Jacka in the background)
ย
Big machines that once were champions
Turn to dust under the sky
ย
Broken windows choking chimneys
Factory walls for miles and miles
ย
Bye bye my old friend
ย
Bye bye my old friend
Just to see the sunset
Pretty rainbows over your majestic towers
ย
To feel your earth beneath my feet
Here I could stand for hours and hours
(Welcome to the show)
(Welcome to the show)
