Artist/Band: U2 Lyrics for Song: Springhill Mining Disaster Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - U2 In the town of Spring Hill, Nova Scotia Down in the heart of the Cumberland Mine There's blood on the coal and miners lie In the roads that never saw sun or sky Roads that never saw sun or sky Down at the coal face the miner's working Rattle of the belt and the cutter's blade Crumble of rock and the walls close round Living and the dead men, two miles down Living and the dead men, two miles down Twelve men lay two miles from the pitshaft Listen for the drilling of a rescue team Six hundred feet of coal and slag Hope imprisoned in a three-foot seam Hope imprisoned in a three-foot seam Eight days passed and some were rescued Leaving the dead to lie alone All their lives they dug their graves Two miles of earth for a marking stone Two miles of earth for a marking stone In the town of Spring Hill you don't sleep easy Often the Earth will tremble and groan When the Earth is restless, miners die Bone and blood is the price of coal Bone and blood is the price of coal

Springhill Mining Disaster

U2's 'Springhill Mining Disaster' stands as a pivotal moment in the band's transition from indie rock to global stadium rock, released in 1987. The track features a distinctive, driving rhythm section that sets the tone for their subsequent major-label success. Lyrically, the song explores themes of industrial decay and human resilience, drawing inspiration from the real-life 1914 Springhill Mine Disaster in Nova Scotia. This recording marked a significant shift in the band's sound, moving away from the jangly guitar pop of their early work toward a heavier, more anthemic style that would define their career. It remains a cornerstone of their discography, often cited as a key influence on the development of the alternative rock genre in the late 1980s.
