you’ve never seen dark until you’ve seen dark in a coal mine
I come from a blue-collar, coal-mining, working-class background. My father worked down the pit. When I was old enough I got just as far away from that as I possibly could, and I never wanted to go back there. Hence, apart from this song I never wanted to go to Scranton Pennsylvania, the centre of what was an anthracite mining area. I think this is funny.
Scranton is on my bucket list ~ now that all the coal mines are closed. I suppose it doesn’t stink of mashed bananas any more.
Please listen with a GSOH.
