Текст песни: Please Sir + перевод

She was always a very pretty lady

He had always caught her eye

They were married in a mining valley

And swore they’d be together until the day that they died

Twenty years later with the coal all gone

And golden lamp in his hand

He stands at the bar with a pint in his hand and his friends

They all agree together that they don’t understand

Meanwhile little David takes his books off to school

And learns of times gone past

And when it comes to questions he puts up his hand

There’s something that he just wants to ask

Please sir can you give me and answer

Please sir you know it doesn’t seem fair

Last night as I walked through the door

I thought I saw my father crying sat in his chair

She stood there with her arms around him and she said

She promised him a better day

But after twenty years of working underground

It’s not just your job that they take away

Sometimes he’d walk to the edge of his world

And stare at the valley below

He thought about leaving maybe running away

But knew there was nowhere to go

Please sir can you give me and answer

Please sir you know I just can’t see

Please sir when you make these decisions

Do you have a vision of what happens to me

Life goes on in a mining valley

But the young men leave for a better wage

And every day he coughs and he splutters

He knows love is the reason he stays

He knows love is the reason he stays

Meanwhile little David takes his books off to school

And learns of the times gone past

And when it comes to questions he puts up his and

There’s something that he just wants to ask

Please sir can you give me and answer

Please sir you know it doesn’t seem fair

Last night as I walked through the door

I thought I saw my father crying sat in his chair
