| Elvis Costello - North | |
| The East has that Englishmen | |
| And the rising sun | |
| The West has the open plains | |
| And how they were won | |
| On Independence Day | |
| For all it's worth | |
| You can ring those southern belles | |
| I'm heading... North | |
| Up were the rushing rivers run and salmon leap | |
| I could even get there in my sleep | |
| Give me the ice and snow | |
| Let me go... North | |
| So run up a banner and we'll stand underneath | |
| You gave me a starry flag | |
| For one with a leaf | |
| I'm on the borderline | |
| I jump back and forth | |
| There's nothing to stop me now | |
| I'm heading... North | |
| Up where the polar bears and moose and geese will play | |
| And some of them address you en francais | |
| Give me the ice and snow | |
| Let me go... North | |
| And so I must leave you all | |
| Alas and alack | |
| And though we are parting now | |
| I'll always come back | |
| So as the compass points | |
| That's where I'll be | |
| But if you could only see | |
| The perfection of...North | |
| It's somewhere I will always carry in my heart | |
| A place when dreams begin and life can start | |
| Who cares what people know? | |
| Let me go... | |
| North |
