"Miner's Lifeguard" lyrics
The Longest Johns & El Pony Pisador Lyrics
"Miner's Lifeguard"
Miner's life is like a sailor's
'Board a ship to cross the waves
Ev'ry day his life's in danger
Still he ventures being brave
Watch the rocks, they're falling daily
Careless miners always fail
Keep your hand upon the wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
You've been docked and docked again, boys
You've been loading two for one
What have you to show for working
Since your mining day is done?
Worn-out boots and worn-out miners
Lungs of stone and children pale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
In conclusion, bear in memory
Keep this password in your mind:
Workers' strength cannot be broken
When in union, we combine
Stand up tall, and stand together
Victory for you'll prevail
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Union miners stand together
Do not heed the owner's tale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale
Keep your hand upon your wages
And your eye upon the scale

It's a long, hard pull to the next payday

Leave her, Johnny, leave her!

Cosmo Sheldrake - "Tardigrade Song" If I were a tardigrade I'd move out from home
Why live in the shrubbery when you could have a throne?
Pressure wouldn't squash me and fire couldn't burn
These are the things that I never will learn...
The Oh Hellos - "Thus Always To Tyrants" Let me die, let me drown, lay my bones in the ground
I will still come around when the time for sleep is through
Over hill, over dale, through the valley and vale
Do not weep, do not wail, I am...
Rare Americans - "Brittle Bones Nicky 2" Welcome friends, hello foes
Thought my story was over, book closed?
Think again, we're nowhere close
My eyes are open, cheers, we toast
I am mother fucking ghost (he's a ghost!)
My heart beat...
Peter Hollens - "Hobbit Drinking Medley" Oh you can search far and wide
You can drink the whole town dry
But you'll never find a beer so brown
Oh you'll never find a beer so brown
As the one we drink in our hometown
As the one we drink in...
