Lyrics:
​
Main Street
​
I was born by the theatre down on Main Street
A stone’s throw from where workers would meet as they poured out from the steel mills
Dead on their feet
I was born by the theatre down on Main Street
Across the road from the snooker hall and the poor souls sleeping on shop front floors
Down on Main Street
I met my father down on Main Street
Shared a drink where the workers meet when he’d been laid off from the steel mills
I was just seventeen
He said ‘Son’
Don’t get trapped in these bars down here on Main Street
The tap side keeps most guys blind whilst they’re waiting for providence to come and save them
Down on Main Street
He said ‘Son’
I dream you don’t end up like me
Cos somewhere, somehow, I forgot who I wanted to be
I’ve faced that blast furnace since ‘72
Paid my dues since the day after leaving school
And this dirt under my fingernails is my only badge of honour
Yet confronts me with my failures and all that I can’t offer
These streets rip the bones from your skin
A junkyard of broken hearts since the recession hit
At least you get a chance to get as far as I did
If stay
Cos it will never change
Down here on Main Street
These days I stare at the theatre down on Main Street
A stone’s throw from where workers would meet, it’s been run down since it shut down back in ‘16
In the shadow of that old theatre down on Main Street
I cross the road to the snooker hall and the poor souls sleeping on shop front floors
And take my seat
And my father’s dream
From the cradle to the grave
It will never change
Down here on Main Street
