GUEST,lankin Lyr Req: Fruit of the Loom (Keith Hancock) (6) RE: Lyr Req: Fruit of the Loom (Keith Hancock) 13 Oct 12


These are all I can remember there is one line missing, If you can remember it that would help me too Fruit of the Loom

Chorus
Fruit of the loom is not so fantastic
As some would assume by the words thats beeb said
Working the loom is not so romantic
Your health really suffers producing the thread

The noise in the shed it rules out conversation
It rattles your head puts your nerve ends on test
As you work hard at your textile creation
The dust weaves its own kind of cloth in your chest

(Missing line}
Factory girls frills had been paid for in blood
With eighty percent of all weavers redundant
Now there is dust where half the looms stood

New methods and change nowadays are abundant
The mills rearrange and they pay higher rates
When safety came in so did modernisation
Now half the mills stand behind locked factory gates
