Some of them came from the North of England But some came from abroad Well I've lied and I've cheated and they never found out And it makes me feel down I never quite know what it's like to be ignorant Until you spend time in that town I know i'm not here but I'm staying tonight I said Oh, It makes me glad you're not around Some came over from the North of England But it doesn't seem to matter when you're not around And it only seems 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 be with someone your thinking is Alright to always wanting something else I tried to go from air to sea I tried to go by car I ended up with them trying to talk their way out But it always seems to be the way things go for you and me Some of them came from the North of England But some came from abroad But whatever we're having, then believe me I'll try and go Believe me im lieing or I'd rather start dieing, yeah.
