Thankfully Not Living in Yorkshire It Doesn't Apply (2000 Remastered Version)
I've never seen it but I still believe it
I'd like to dig it out or maybe wrench it out
There's no touching
But there's not much involved in casting doubt
Too hard to think about
I'd relate my thoughts to you
But I'm not so stupid to put my faith in you
I'll just keep searching
Lord have mercy on me
Keep me away from Leeds
I've been before; it's not what I'm looking for
There's no touching
But there's not much involved in casting doubt
No need to think about
I'd relate my thoughts to you
But I'm not so stupid to put my faith in you
I'll just keep searching
I've walked around, seen the town and the crowds
I've walked about, worked it out, pissed about, tried to shout,
No one's listening
It's all you and your rules and fools,
and it's all you and your schools their tools, then
I'd like to dig it out or maybe wrench it out
There's no touching
But there's not much involved in casting doubt
Too hard to think about
I'd relate my thoughts to you
But I'm not so stupid to put my faith in you
I'll just keep searching
Lord have mercy on me
Keep me away from Leeds
I've been before; it's not what I'm looking for
There's no touching
But there's not much involved in casting doubt
No need to think about
I'd relate my thoughts to you
But I'm not so stupid to put my faith in you
I'll just keep searching
I've walked around, seen the town and the crowds
I've walked about, worked it out, pissed about, tried to shout,
No one's listening
It's all you and your rules and fools,
and it's all you and your schools their tools, then
