  • Limited Edition Compact Disc
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Whilst tidying up and sorting through all the old merch stocks, we inadvertantly came across these last two remaining copies of 'A Few Drops More'. This limited edition CD received a single print run of approximately 500 copies only which were numbered and signed.

    What marks these two copies out as particularly rare and unique, however, is that they have not been numbered and signed and must therefore be part of a very small number of copies that were printed slightly over the 1000 run.

    Includes unlimited streaming of A Few Drops More (Demos & Rarities 1985-96) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

PRIDE

I remember working winters
That were cold and filled with strife
But the winters of my winter years
Are the coldest of my life
But we’ll keep the fires burning
With the anger in our souls
And pray to God in Heaven
For the men who dig for coal

My youngest son called Terry
Was a shipbuilder by trade
And he told me he was proud to work
For a good and honest wage
Then his boss said, “Son we’re paying you off
With involuntary redundancy pay
Though you’ve built ships that have sailed
Down South America way”

When you’re faced with a crisis
We will never let you down
We’ll do just what’s required to a man
You can lead sheep to the slaughter
And we’ll follow every one
But you can’t destroy the pride
Of a hard working man

Sitting round with beers
With the lads who’ve never worked
And telling them all stories
Of the times when we worked hard
Then we’ll doff our caps in honour
To the old days long gone by
And drink to a good future
When we’ll never lay down and die

The fighters throughout history
Have never been put down
And they’ll always keep on fighting
Though they’re stamped into the ground
And the marchers keep on marching
Though the blood drips from their feet
And the pride of a whole nation
Reaps a victory from defeat

(Gary Miller)
