Red Hill Mining Town

 "is a song by the rock band U2. It is the sixth track from their 1987 album, The Joshua Tree. A rough version of this song was worked on during the early Joshua Tree album writing sessions in 1985. The focus of the song is on the National Union of Mineworkers' 1984 strike in Great Britain that occurred in response to the National Coal Board's campaign to close uneconomic mines."

From father to son 
The blood runs thin 
See faces frozen still 
Against the wind 


The seam is split 
The coal face cracked 
The lines are long 
There's no going back 
Through hands of steel 
And heart of stone 
Our labor day 
Has come and gone


Yeah you leave me holding on 
In Red Hill town 
See lights go down, I'm 

Hanging on 
You're all that's left to hold on to 
I'm still waiting 
I'm hanging on 
You're all that's left to hold on to

The glass is cut 
The bottle run dry 
Our love runs cold 
In the caverns of the night 
We're wounded by fear 
Injured in doubt 
I can lose myself 
You I can't live without 


Yeah you keep me holding on 
In Red Hill town 
See the lights go down on 
I'm hanging on 
You're all that's left to hold on to 
I'm still waiting 
Hanging on 
You're all that's left to hold on to, on to


We'll scorch the earth 
Set fire to the sky 
We stoop so low, to reach so high 
A link is lost 
The chain undone 
We wait all day 
For night to come 
And it comes 
Like a hunter child 

I'm hanging on 
You're all that's left to hold on to 
I'm still waiting 
I'm hanging on 
You're all that's left to hold on to 

Love, slowly stripped away 
Love, has seen its better day 

Hanging on 
The lights go out on 
Red Hill  Town
The lights go down on 
Red Hill Town
Lights go down on 
Red Hill town 
The lights go down on 
Red Hill town
