Spades Video (MV)

Miner, in the coals grown up to be so bold
Your true stories never grew old and by you we wanted to be told
Pearl's of wisdom and a heart of gold, inherited all that, we'll never grow cold
Digits, twisted, so much pain, but you never grimaced
The trying life, yes you definitely lived it
But you never grumbled, even at the finish

You called a spade, a spade
Any advice or opinion went the same direction, it was straight
It was straight
And your memory will live on throughout an age and to always call a spade a spade
To always call a spade a spade
A spade a spade, a spade a spade

Old school, Pitmatic, we act the fools and we have bad habits
The world you wanted, us to grab it
With you, we never doubted that we could have it
Ya flat caps, ya leather jackets, wit so sharp only you could have it
Strong man, anything, you could hack it, so I'm sure the family will learn to manage

You called a spade, a spade
Advice or opinion went the same direction, it was straight
It was straight
And your memory will live on throughout an age and to always call a spade a spade
To always call a spade a spade
A spade a spade, a spade a spade
