Take a hill top view of this chimney town
red brick fingers rape the steel grey skies
one by one they shut them down
all in the chase of a sainsburys deal

Chorus
If I close my eyes I can hear them still...songs from the heartlend of Pennine Mills

Take a street eye view of this chimney town
solid wall that were built from muscle and steel
street by street they tearing out its soul
wasted tears fall from tired eyes

Chorus
