lyrics
Lyrics to The Northern Blues:
They say you can’t get over it,
As you breathe, the air is full of it,
Grey waters and seagulls flying above.
Junk cars and herbal remedies,
Tattoos on friendly enemies,
This pauper is slumming it oh for your love.
Goodnight sweetheart, I’ve got the northern blues,
It’s not the things you’ve done, or what was in the news.
It burrows its way to your heart; the northern blues.
I’m just alone in an odyssey,
One step from causing a mutiny,
Scapegoating has taken it out on the kid.
I think that they’ll get tired of it,
Grow up, and live their lives a bit,
The pots boiled, and now I’m lifting the lid.
Goodnight sweetheart, I’ve got the northern blues,
It’s not the things you’ve done, or what was in the news.
It burrows its way to your heart; the northern blues.
Instrumental
It’s not a big catastrophe,
No bones were broken, obviously,
A dark tailor stitches threads in my mind.
Goodnight sweetheart, I’ve got the northern blues,
It’s not the things you’ve done, or what was in the news.
It burrows it’s way to your heart, the northern blues.
