Bibliographic notesIntroduction
We usually finish the shift in the pub
I think it's the soil
We are the consulting engineers
We were in a great rush when we did this
My name is
During that time, a survey has been made
It would take quite a lot of men to do the job of one of those machines
Come all you gallant drivers
I'm a roving rambler
Deep and straight and low
Sixty tons of steel
What made you come into this game?
Just a road
Oh well that's just the way it is
When the muck has all been shifted
Bring up your black squad
Been on the road so long
You can talk about your concrete
The motorway is on the final lap
We needed a way cut through the land
