Down to the mine with lamp I was gifted from father
many a way it has lit for us tabby cats
Straight to pub with coal dust up to my whiskers
They send us down because here because they’d rather risk us
But a job is job and I’ve got us some sardines for tea
Got a roof over head and a fluffy stuffed bed and the love of my family.

More Than The Pit

Maybe there's more than just the pit
I saw a picture of it
In a banned kittens book from above wastelands it took
my bated breath away
Green fields and pastures idle whistling on the breeze
a nation yet to be on its knees
the dreams of fools I know jostle too and ever throw so cautiously
First they make you poor without a warning and then tell you that it's all your fault
They're taxing oxygen and water .
Selling mother's milk back to our mothers .
& frame it all on ways to try and make us fight are brothers
We must remain
I'll see you all again but for now I'm travelling on
for now I'm travelling on.

Back to my home with enough crazy stories startle
i've four old paws weary from traveling on
I got to lay down pickaxes shovels and hammers
and pass on my music before i am gone
Now i chisel out tunes about things and folk close to me
Like a roof over head and a fluffy stuffed bed and the love of a family
