Northern Industrial Town lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Northern Industrial Town lyrics It s just a northern industrial town The front doors of the houses open into the streets There s no room for front gardens, just a two-up, two-down In a northern industrial town And you can see the green hills cross the rooftops And a fresher wind blows past the end of our block In the evenings the mist comes rolling on down Into a northern industrial town And there s only two teams in this town And you must follow one or the other Let us win, let them lose, not the other way round In a northern industrial town And the street lights look pretty and bright From the tops of the hills that rise dark in the night If it weren t for the rain you might never come down To your northern industrial town And on payday they tear the place down With a pint in your hand and a bash em out band Sure they d dance to the rhythm of the rain falling down In a northern industrial town And there s plenty of artists around Painters steal cars, poets nick guitars Cos we re out of the black and into the red So give us this day our daily bread In a northern industrial town But it s not Leeds or Manchester Liverpool, Sheffield nor Glasgow It s not Newcastle-on-Tyne, it s Belfast It s just a northern industrial town Merry Christmas, war is over In a northern industrial town song lyrics
