Cursed Be The Caller Who's that knocking there, who's that rapping there? Written after a conversation with my father, when he retired after fifty years in the mines, many of which he spent on first shift, after being woken by the caller's knock. |

Subject: Lyr Add: CURSED BE THE CALLER (Jez Lowe) From: Stewie Date: 13 Sep 03 - 02:41 AM Hey I've got that album! CURSED BE THE CALLER (Jez Lowe) Who's that knockin' there Who's that rappin' there Who's that tappin' there Can't you let us be? We've been to work today Diggin' our lives away Down below the frozen clay And out beneath the sea Oh cursed be the caller With his knock, knock, knock Well, lyin' there at 2 o'clock To hear the caller's angry knock Would give the devil himself a shock As he lay fast asleep A workin' man has not the right To sleep is way all through the night Clasp your dreams with all your might 'Cos dreams'll never keep Oh cursed be the caller With his knock, knock, knock The sky is cold, the sky is black You struggle to get off your back The night is always twice as dark When you have to leave your bed A second knock and then a third It's no good sayin' you never heard The gaffer won't believe a word It's enough to wake the dead Oh cursed be the caller With his knock, knock, knock So curse the caller, curse him well Let him wake the souls in hell He'll find a place there for himself I'm sure that it is home Oh, but if he left us sleeping fast Tomorrow's shift would be our last So leave the caller to his task But curse him all the same Oh cursed be the caller With his knock, knock, knock Who's that knockin' there Who's that rappin' there Who's that tappin' there Can't you let us be? We've been to work today Diggin' our lives away Down below the frozen clay And out beneath the sea Oh cursed be the caller With his knock, knock, knock Oh cursed be the caller With his knock, knock, knock Source: transcription from Jez Lowe 'Back Shift' Fellside Records FECD89.
