Some of them came from the north of England
And some came from abroad
But I lied and I cheated and they never found out
And it makes me feel down
You'll never quite know what it’s like to be ignorant
Until you've spent time in our town
'Cos there’s no-one 'round here that is anything like us at all
Makes me glad you're not around

The sun came up on the north of England
But it doesn't seem to matter when you're not around
And it only seems to me to be a matter of time
Before you're moving even further south
You never quite know what it means to be intimate
Until you've been around
'Cos that’s what it’s like
And if there's someone you’re thinking is alright
They're always wanting something else

Tried to go from A to C
I tried to go by car
And it ended up with everyone trying to talk their way out
But that always seems to be
The way things go for you and me

Some of them came from the north of England
And some came from abroad
But whatever we're having then believe me I'll try it
Don’t believe me I'm lying
All the randoms are dying, oh yeah
