Iron Wheels Lyrics - Unplugged And Strung Up - Saxon

My father used to work the seam far below the ground 

Digging for the coal to melt the steel 

But now he lies a twisted man one foot in the grave 

Just like the iron wheels that took him down 

Just like the iron wheels that took him down 

He used to be the fisherman that sailed the mighty sea 

Searching for the harvest from the deep 

But now the fleets are rusting hulks anchored at the quay 

Just like the iron wheels that took him down 

Just like the iron wheels that took him down 

He used to be the farming man standing tall and proud 

Working on the land to sow the seed 

But now the buildings stand in shame rotting on the land 

Just like the iron wheels that took him down
