It's just a ^Gnorthern in^Adustrial ^Dtown The front ^Gdoors of the ^Ahouses open ^Dinto the street There's no ^Groom for front ^Agardens, just a ^Dtwo-up, two-down In a ^Gnorthern in^Adustrial ^Dtown

[Verse 2]

And you can ^Gsee the green ^Ahills 'cross the ^Drooftops And a ^Gfresher wind ^Ablows past the ^Dend of our block In the ^Gevenings the ^Amist comes ^Drolling on down Into a ^Gnorthern in^Adustrial ^Dtown

[Verse 3]

And there's ^Gonly two ^Ateams in this ^Dtown And you ^Gmust follow ^Aone or the ^Dother Let us ^Gwin, let them ^Alose, not the ^Dother way round In a ^Gnorthern in^Adustrial ^Dtown

[Verse 4]

And the ^Gstreetlights look ^Apretty and ^Dbright From the ^Gtops of the ^Ahills that rise ^Ddark in the night If it ^Gweren't for the ^Arain, you might ^Dnever come down To your ^Gnorthern in^Adustrial ^Dtown

[Verse 5]

And on ^Gpayday they ^Atear the place ^Ddown With a ^Gpint in your ^Ahand and a ^Dbash 'em out band Sure they'd ^Gdance to the ^Arhythm of the ^Drain falling down In a ^Gnorthern in^Adustrial ^Dtown

[Verse 6]

And there's ^Gplenty of a^Artists a^Dround ^GPainters, steal ^Acars, poets, ^Dnicked guitars 'Cause we're ^Gout of the ^Ablack and we're ^Dinto the red So ^Ggive us this ^Aday our^D daily bread In a ^Gnorthern in^Adustrial ^Dtown

[Verse 7]

But it's not ^GLeeds or ^AManches^Dter ^GLiverpool, ^ASheffield nor ^DGlasgow It's not ^GNewcastle-on-^ATyne ... it's ^DBelfast It's just a ^Gnorthern in^Adustrial ^Dtown

[Coda]

Merry ^GChristmas, ^Awar is ^Dover In a ^Gnorthern in^Adustrial ^Dtown
