The Road to Wigan Casino
Daniel Cockrill
pass through arched canal path
warehouse and wharf
pit shaft and mill town
burn it down
suck in smoke choked filled
Sunday morning amphetamine fuelled
rhythm and blue hue
Seven days is too long without you
two quid in
rare disc demo spin
no moonshine no firewater no alcohol
just guts dance and Northern Soul
two tone Spencer peg clobber
twisted industrial youth truth
as you flip kick backdrop
to knees and pray
as Dean Parrish sings
I’m on my way
