[Verse 1]
The other side of Liverpool
Is cold and damp
Only way out of there
Drums, guitar and amp
The other side of Liverpool
Where I came from
My mother was a barmaid
At the age of three my father was gone
Dave, if you are listening
Well, you know what I mean
It was you and Brian Briscoe
Got me through my early teens alright

[Chorus]
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true

[Verse 2]
The other side of Liverpool
You just had to laugh
We had to go to Steeple Street
Just to take a bath
The other side of Liverpool
We used to play for free
They'd give us lukewarm beer
To keep us sweet, Eddy, Roy and me
And Roy if you are listening
Thanks for all you've done
It was you and me on the factory floor
When rock and roll had just begun, oh yeah
[Chorus]
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true

[Bridge]
That was the other side of Liverpool
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true

[Chorus]
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true
The other side of Liverpool
The other side, the other side
The other side of Liverpool
You know it's true
