The wind blows the ash to the furnace

The steel men are sitting at home

And the video game

Can't replace the flame

That once burned all day on the coal



The wind blows along in the gutter

In a rush to get out of the town

Where the row of shops is sold up in lots

Developers bought the whole town

And in the place is a pile of bricks

Where children play with sticks and stones

What have they done

What have they done

What have they done

What have they done



The sunshine is bright on the ranada

Where I once saw the film ??if??

Now they all stand in line

For it's bingo tonight

No more films with Malcom Bo??d???



The cranes on the dock are redundant

Standing so tall in the sky

Shuffling trolleys and docks

In around in the mud

The dockman has a tear is his eye

And in his hand is a pint of beer

No more dock sheds are here to run

What have they done

What have they done

What have they done

What have they done



What have they done

What have they done

What have they done

What have they done

What have they done

What have they

What have they done

What have they done

What have they

What have they done
