In the Blood
steve coel
You's probably seen my picture in the papers.
Looks bit different now I does.
Big fella then like.
Big fella then like.
Once done a lot of adverts for tele.
Today things changed.
All started when I was just a kid.
Can't stick jobs too long.
Nerves shot see.
See Dad managed to talk his way
onto shift at Ellington.
So me and Dad and his mates got to spend some time
underground, like they'd been doing in the valleys,
since they was kids.
Laugh it was, cause we's all on holiday
with club at the time.
Mum was furious.
As it goes years just shot by.
But I wasn't laughing my last time down the pit.
Cos after 15 hours digging only came back up
with me best mates arms.
Didn't need me name in papers then.
Trust me.
