Love in a Northern Town Songtext
von The Young’uns

Though many men have sung before
Of love so strong and Love so pure
As the morning mist comes down
I′ll sing of love in a northern town

Well she was born in 33
When weirside ships still good to see
And she would skip and dance along
To the rhyming chiming shipyard song.

And all she wanted in her life
Was to find a man and make a wife
To skip and dance
To settle down
To fall in love in a northern town


Their eyes first met in 51,
Waiting for a bus to come
And by the coalman next came round
Well it was love in a northern town
And when love had young mouths to fill
Well love stood firm and love stood still
For love cannot be beaten down,
When love is true in a northern town

She'll say love died in 91
But love is never really gone
For its love that keeps her from her sleep
And love that makes her smile and weep
And the river weir still sings her song
Though all her ships and men are gone
And the shutters may have all come down
But there′s still love in a northern town

(Melodeon)

And the river weir still sings her song
Though all her ships and men are gone
And the shutters may have all come down
But there's still love in a northern town
There's still love in a northern town
There′s still love in a northern town

End.
