I don't want your millions mister, just give them back to the miners again.

TTO: What a friend we have in Jesus/ When this bloody war is over

We support the working miners in our job at Beresford's
While they scrape to make a living
All our partners live like lords.
We will fight for compensation for the damage mining did
While the miners face the dole queue
We get several million quid.
Oh the smiling miners' faces, when their 'compo' has been spent.
Carefully, we will not mention we took "cough cough cough" percent!

To the tune of Waltzing Matilda:-

Once two jolly solicitors, said they'd help the miners out,
Fought for compensation, through the British court.
Won money by the millions, took a chunk out for themselves.
That chunk being much more to take than they ought.

Robbing the miners, robbing the miners,
Who'll come a robbing the miners with me.
And they laughed and they sang as they watched their growing bank accounts,
Who'll come a robbing the miners with me.

Well, if you must get even with them, the line might be:
"Make 'em walk amongst the glass shards."

It's a reach, but a tough rhyme.
