[Verse 1]
Dad's old lunch box still sits by the door
Factory whistle don't blow anymore
Thirty years of pride swept away
Now it's just pennies and pocket change
[Chorus]
Counting coins on the kitchen table
Stretching pounds as far as we're able
Northern lights and factory nights
Fading dreams but we'll be alright
It's just pocket change, pocket change
But we're worth more than pocket change
[Verse 2]
Grandma's words echo through the years
"Keep your head high, wipe those tears"
Second-hand clothes and discount stores
While the suits shut down the factory floors
My guitar case opens for loose change
Just like daddy's redundancy pay
[Bridge]
Remember what she said that night
When the last shift turned out the lights
"There's dignity in every penny saved
And strength in every bill we paid"
[Chorus]
Counting coins on the kitchen table
Stretching pounds as far as we're able
Northern lights and factory nights
Fading dreams but we'll be alright
It's just pocket change, pocket change
But we're worth more than pocket change
[Verse 3]
Now I'm singing in city bars
While dad's tools rust in the yard
His calloused hands taught me more
Than all those suits behind closed doors
About the worth of honest work
And finding gold in all this dirt
[Outro]
The factory's gone, but we survive
Newcastle spirit keeps us alive
More than numbers in the bank
More than coins that barely clink
We're pocket change, pocket change
But darling, we're not pocket change
No, we're so much more than pocket change
