Sunderland Boys - Lindisfarne

Sunderland Boys making all the noise

Sunderland Boys making all the noise

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Young man working on a crane in the shipyard

Looking all around, looking down town

Looking at the old man

Living on the dole, man — living in a limbo

Upside, downside, looking at the outside

Running with the tide, better run a mile

Bet a crooked dollar

On the dog with the crooked smile blow it in a disco

Sunderland Boys making all the noise

Sunderland Boys making all the noise

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Government’s saying that the poor relation

Is getting better off than the whole damn nation

Look out, they’re gonna

Put us on a reservation

Sunderland Boys making all the noise

Sunderland Boys making all the noise

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Government’s saying that the poor relation

Is getting better off than the whole damn nation

Look out, they’re gonna

Put us on a reservation

Chorus: 6 x then fade

Sunderland Boys making all the noise

Sunderland Boys making all the noise

Oh yeah, oh yeah
