20 Jun 02 - 05:46 AM (#733490) Subject: Lyr Add: COAL NOT DOLE (Kay Sutcliffe) From: Wolfgang COAL NOT DOLE (Kay Sutcliffe) It stands so proud, the wheels so still, A ghost-like figure on the hill. It seems so strange, there is no sound, Now there are no men underground. What will become of this pit-yard, Where men once trampled faces hard? Tired and weary, their work done, Never having seen the sun. Will it become like sacred ground? Foreign tourists gazing round. Asking if men once worked here, Way beneath this pit-head gear. Empty trucks once filled with coal, Lined up like men on the dole. Will they e're be used again, Or left for scrap just like the men? There'll always be a happy hour For those with money, jobs and power. They'll never realise the hurt, They cause to men they treat like dirt. What will become of this pit-yard, Where men once trampled faces hard? Tired and weary, their work done, Never having seen the sun. There'll always be a happy hour For those with money, jobs and power. They'll never realise the hurt, They do to them they treat like dirt. copied and pasted from: http://crydee.sai.msu.ru/public/lyrics/cs-uwp/s/sutcliffe.kay/coal_not_dole I know it from the Martin Carthy Chronicles CD Wolfgang |

20 Jun 02 - 06:45 AM (#733509) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: coal not dole:kay sutcliffe From: GUEST,MCP Typing "dole" in the Forum And DT Search box would have lead you to Coal Not Dole message which had a link to Lyr Add: Coal Not Dole, and also the Lyr Add thread itself. (putting "Dole" in finds only the 1st indirect link). Putting "Sutcliffe" in the Forum and DT Search box would also have found the Lyr Add thread directly. Putting "dole" or "Dole" in the Filter box, setting the Age to 3 years and doing refresh would have found the Lyr Add thread directly. I know the search is a bit hit and miss, but it's usually worth a try and Filter is usually fine if the word apeared in a title. Mick |

20 Jun 02 - 07:05 AM (#733515) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: coal not dole:kay sutcliffe From: Wolfgang You're right, Mick, in principle. I had tried the forum search first but without success. I now know why: I had entered coal not dole and got all threads in which the word 'coal' but not the word 'dole' is found. This way I missed the Lyr. add. thread. The search did interpret the 'not' in another way than I had meant it. Correct entry would have been: "coal not dole" Wolfgang |

Might be worth contacting Georgina Boyes here Kitty |

They've been set to various tunes (as discussed on other Mudcat threads), including a variant of "See Amid the Winter Snow" suggested to Coope Boyes & Simpson by John Tams. Kay's text becomes ever more meaningful by the day. |
