Public Service Broadcasting - People Will Always Need Coal Lyrics

Hey there miner
Living life the way you want to be
Come on now miner
There's money, lots of money and security

In South Wales it seems over two and a half feet thick
There is still at least ten thousand million tons of the coal that made her famous
Enough for another four hundred years

Young men of Wales are finding
The industry that employed their fathers and their grandfathers
There's a future, a secure future, in Welsh coal today
A secure future in Welsh coal today

Be a miner
It's an industry of men
We need more men
Be a miner
There's more to mining than dust and dirt, much more
Be a miner
You'll discover the excitement of going underground
There'll always be something new

A secure future in Welsh coal today

South Wales coal field will be turning out best Welsh for a few hundred years yet
Its character is changing
As it turns confidently to what may lie ahead

A secure future in Welsh coal today
