about

In the early 1980's it was the beginning of the end for mining in that area. With the coal industry nationalised and mines deemed relatively unprofitable, the threat of closure brought a national NUM strike in March 1984. Much trouble ensued and Margaret Thatcher referred to striking miners as 'the enemy within'.

lyrics

The end is near, intent is clear
The order comes to close them down
The Lady speaks, the Unions weep
Emotion’s high and over-ripe
Many thrown and cast like broken glass
Empty mouths to feed, but still she sees ‘the enemy within’

The whistle blows through every soul
And every heart that played a part
Were they owed as much as they gave in trust
Was it all in vein, nor the lion tamed
And they say farewell to the final bell
But burrow deep, there’s still reward left to reap
