Northern Boy

Northern boy
Why is it that you only have one toy?
Is it because your parents are unemployed?
Why can your daddy get a job?

Northern girl
You say when you grow up you're gonna rule the world
Become a ballerina, get your blonde hair curled
But they'll probably throw you in the bog

Northern lad
Why do we continue to drive you mad?
Tell us your secret, why are you so sad?
Will you ever contribute?

Here comes that northern lass
Her feet are bleeding, I guess she stepped in glass
I've never seen a stupid hooker run so fast
A fifteen year old prostitute

Oh, northern man
Why is it that no one ever understands?
Don't you wish someone was there to hold your hand?
Why are we so alone?

Northern lady
If someone wants to help you, don't you dare say maybe
Take the leap of faith and jump in my Mercedes
I can guarantee I'll take you home... yeah!

Look at all these northern graves
No other part of England could have been so brave
I hope that one day soon we truly do get saved
Fill your homes with love and joy
Northern Boy
