This week's song is James Keelaghan's "Boom Gone To Bust", for reasons that should be obvious.
And I headed west when I had turned twenty
When the foundries and factories had closed
And in my minds eye I thought I might settle
Out here where my father was raised and was born
I worked as a jug-hound a rough-neck a bouncer
I worked where I wanted, I drew damn good pay
Saw no end to our luck and so we just pushed it
But O.P.E.C. and mortgages ate it away.
This recording is from Lookingglass Folk's "Trinitite" concert at Conflikt 2012.
