作词 : Bragg
It's just a northern industrial town 
The front doors of the houses open into the street 
There's no room for front gardens, just two-up two-down 
In a northern industrial town 
And you can see the green hills 'cross the rooftops 
And a fresher wind blows past the end of our block 
In the evenings the mist come rolling on down 
Into a northern industrial town 
And there's only two teams in this town 
And you must follow one or the other 
Let us win, let them lose, not the other way round 
In a northern industrial town 
And the street lights look pretty and bright 
From the tops of the hills they rise dark in the night 
If it weren't for the rain you might never come down 
To your northern industrial town 
And on payday they tear the place down 
With a pint in your hand and a bash'em out band 
Sure they'd dance to the rhythm of the rain falling down 
In a northern industrial town 
And there's plenty of artists around 
Painters steal cars, poets nick guitars 
Cos we're out of the black and into the red 
So give us this day our daily bread 
In a northern industrial town 
But it's not 
Leeds or Manchester 
Liverpool, 
Sheffield, nor 
Glasgow It's not 
Newcastle-on-
Tyne. It's 
Belfast It's just a northern industrial town 
Merry Christmas, war is over 
In a northern industrial town
