about

A potted history of my family trade from the war to the present day. It's as much a part of the story of this country as anyone else's.

lyrics

These hands graft like my Dad's did
And his Dad's did before
It's been that way since Grandad learned this trade
Back in the war
He just got his head down
And tried to raise a family
Said: "Someone has to do this job
And that someone is me."

Take them as you find them, son
And don't kick up a fuss
Big men, they're just big men
Cos of little men like us
You take away us little men
The big men fall, you see?
And someone has to do this job
And that someone is me

Some they follow money,son
But that turns good men bad
I never followed money, son
I followed my Dad

So hold your head up high my boy
And walk a path that's true
And always try to be the best there is
At what you do
Look them in the eye my boy
With pride and dignity
Cos someone has to do this job
And that someone is me.
