Music and Lyrics by Josh Olivier-Mason

lyrics

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Everyone is leaving now that the mines have all gone bust

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
She asks me if I’m leaving too and I tell her that I must.

All of our pretty things
Are covered up in rust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Bone on bone, hand to hand
We scour the horizon for a sign of dry land
Hand to hand, bone on bone
We bite and claw each other for something we can own

All of our pretty dreams
Have started to combust
Ashes and ashes, dust and dust

Round and round, the wheel it turns and we all fall down
There’s nothing can be done to save my home town
We all fall down

Eye to eye, skin to skin
Another politician tells me you gotta lose to win
Eye for an eye, sin for sin
The mountain cried when it cracked inside and the waters all poured in

All of our pretty ways
Have broken the trust (leaving)
Ashes and ashes, dust and dust

Yeah, all of our petty ways
Have broken the trust
Ashes and ashes, dust and dust

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Everyone is leaving now this town has all gone bust.
