Cheese and wine’s fine for them that like to show off,
but a ploughman’s lunch and a pint of ale
is the holy grail for us
and just who are us you may ask,

well
pin back thee ears and I’ll tell ya
we are the bricks that built the bridges
the picks that cut the canals
the Tommy’s that went to war
and
the bodies that never came back

Off the beaten track?
and I may well be
but I have a ploughman’s
and a tin of ale
and
a host of tales to tell.
