      I used to work on them beasts. 'Normal' folk just wouldn't be able to live with the smell that hits you when you open up a leaking Packer-Plate ram for repair! How you guys got what you got into those things, still amazes me! :-)

    Unfortunately this song now has to be banned in 2019 as it uses the word dustman instead of dustperson and the band lack ethnic diversity.
