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.
