 THE FALL - The Nwra Lyrics

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f
When it happened we walked through all the estates, from
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Manchester right to, er, Newcastle. In Darlington, helped a large
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
man on his own chase off some kids who were chucking bricks and
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
stuff through his flat window. She had a way with people like that.
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Thanked us and we moved on.
?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f
'Junior Choice' played one morning. The song was 'English
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Scheme.' Mine. They'd changed it with a grand piano and turned
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
it into a love song. How they did it I don't know. DJs had
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
worsened since the rising. Elaborating on nothing in praise of
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
the track with words they could hardly pronounce, in telephone
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
voices.
?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f
I was mad, and laughed at the same time. The West German
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
government had brought over large yellow trains on Teeside docks.
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
In Edinburgh. I stayed on my own for a few days, wandering about
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
in the, er, pissing rain, before the Queen Mother hit town.
?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f
I'm Joe Totale
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The yet unborn son
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The North will rise again
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The North will rise again
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Not in 10,000 years
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Too many people cower to criminals
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
And government crap
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The estates stick up like stacks
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The North will rise again X4
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Look where you are
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Look where you are
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The future death of my father
?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Shift!
?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Tony was a business friend
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Of RT XVIII
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
And was an opportunist man
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Come, come hear my story
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
How he set out to corrupt and destroy
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
This future Rising
?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The business friend came round today
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
With teeth clenched, he grabbed my neck
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
I threw him to the ground
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
His blue shirt stained red
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The north will rise again.
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
He said you are mistaken, friend
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
I kicked him out of the home
?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Too many people cower to criminals
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
And that government pap
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
When all it takes is hard slap
?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f
But out the window burned the roads
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
There were men with bees on sticks
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The fall had made them sick
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
A man with butterflies on his face
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
His brother threw acid in his face
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
His tatoos were screwed
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The streets of Soho did reverberate
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
With drunken Highland men
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Revenge for Culloden dead
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The North had rose again
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
But it would turn out wrong
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The North will rise again
?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f
So R. Totale dwells underground
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Away from sickly grind
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
With ostrich head-dress
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Face a mess, covered in feathers
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Orange-red with blue-black lines
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
That draped down to his chest
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Body are a tentacle mess
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
And light blue plant-heads
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
TV showed Sam Chippendale
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
No conception of what he'd made
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The Arndale had been razed
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Shop staff knocked off their ladders
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Security guards hung from moving escalators
?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f
And now that is said
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Tony seized the control
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
He built his base in Edinburgh
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Had on his hotel wall
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
A hooded friar on a tractor
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
He took a bluey and he called Totale
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Who said, the North has rose again
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
But it will turn out wrong
?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f

?8j24410l622018"jj16f
When I was in cabaret
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
I vowed to defend
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
All of the English clergy
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Though they have done wrong
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
And the fall has begun
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
This has got out of hand
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
I will go for foreign aid
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
But he Tony, laughed down the phone
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
Said Totale go back to bed
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
The North has rose today
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
And you can stuff your aid!
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
And you can stuff your aid!
?8j24410l622018"jj16f
