"I heard it in a love song." - Miners?
 

Actually, I didn't but according to an '80s 45 by some amateur band known as Tate, in their song "Black Lung," they claim you can 'feel it in your tonsils and taste it on your tongue.'

Miners, or those in the know, is that statement true about the coal dust.

Random song so late at night, to be sure, and as always, thanks for the help!
