North Of England lyrics - The Cribs

 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
