Land of smoke
Softly spoke
Daily roam
Polluted home
Former industry
A name for me
Now I say it's so
Time that I go
Potteries black clouds
See them scream and shout
Underneath it all
Did the dreams fall
To the city of misery
I walk away now can't you see
Now I've had it with the doubt
And I leave you to be greyed out
You I used to love
Often spoken of
Calm the say of nay
Show them all the way
As the clock moves on
And the will is gone
I will board the train
And clean the smokey stain
Potteries black clouds
See them scream and shout
Underneath it all
Did the dreams fall
To the city of misery
I walk away now can't you see
Now I've had it with the doubt
And I leave you to be greyed out
Clean the past
Find the way
Leaving fast
Cannot stay
Greener grass
In I play
Peace at last
No more grey
In the midst of this
Deep down I will miss
The working class town
I know up and down
Maybe just one time
As it is no crime
I will see you again
Bottle kiln friends
Potteries black clouds
See them scream and shout
Underneath it all
Did the dreams fall
To the city of misery
I walk away now can't you see
Now I've had it with the doubt
And I leave you to be greyed out
