When you're listening late at night You may think the band are not quite right But they are, they just play it like that It doesn't really matter what chords I play What words I say or time of day it is As it's only a Northern song. It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear Or how I fare or if my hair is brown When it's only a Northern song. If you think the harmony Is a little dark and out of key You're correct, there's nobody there. It doesn't really matter what chords I play What words I say or time of day it is And I told you there's no one there.
