Factory Gate
At the factory gate he studies her expressionAt the factory gate he clocks in lateIn the living room he offers her more coffeeIn the living room she still has a chanceAt the factory gate he asks for her permissionAt the factory gate he stands and waitsOutside the living room she sees her future butIn the living room they just sit and talk talkAt the coal face the workers dig for goldAnd at the corner shop the women wait for newsSTANDING IN THE RAIN DREAMING OF A HOLIDAY,WAITING IN THE BUS QUEUEDREAMING OF A BRIGHT NEW DAYAT THE FACTORY GATEAt the factory gate they change directionAt the factory gate they stand apartIn the living room he grows impatientIn the living room she turns awayAnd at the coal face the workers dig for goldAnd at the corner shop the women search for cluesSTANDING IN THE RAIN DREAMING OF A HOLIDAY,WAITING IN THE BUS QUEUE DREAMING OF A BRIGHT NEW DAYAT THE FACTORY GATE
