Percale, or percalcos, is a closely woven plain-weave fabric often used for bed covers. Percale has a thread count of about 200 or higher and is noticeably tighter than the standard type of weave used for bedsheets. It has medium weight, is firm and smooth with no gloss, and warps and washes very well. It is made from both carded and combed yarns, and may be woven of various fibers, such as cotton, polyester, or various blends.
It was cold that day in January 1931
Working late, high over the ground in the harbour of
Gothenburg
The ground was frozen, the wind was cold and the snow was
falling down
A shout in the dark, the ground turned red - Another
worker was dead
Chorus:
Honour to the workers who built our town
And risked their lives since 1621
To the workers who built our town
And risked their lives since 1621
For all that you have done ... since 1621
Chorus
... Honour to the workers who built our town
... And risked their lives since 1621
1621 - The year our town was born
With a harbour of pride and mighty ships that made our
town a name
A history worth reminding of and tell your kids about
When the people worked and risked their lives and gave us
a place to love
