A Northern Soul - The Verve

This is a tale of a Northern Soul

Looking to find his way back home

He’s coming from that same old road

You know the one your folds don’t know

I want to see if you know me I was born in a rented room

My mother didn’t get no flowers

Dad didn’t approve of me, do you?

I’m alive with something inside of me And I don’t think I’m coming back

So come on come in inside of me Let’s spread it all around

Give me your powder and pills

I want to see if they cure my ills

I’ve no time for love and devotion

No time for old fashioned potion

Take a look into my eyes

I tell you so many lies and then I’ll let you go into the night

And I don’t think I’m coming down

I’m alive with something inside of me…

And I can’t seem to get it out

I’m gonna die alone in bed

This is a tale of a northern soul

Looking for his way back home

And my friend said, «Come in side of me And your speakers are telling the truth

Comming through and into your room on a river of sound»

This is a tale of a northern soul looking for his way back home

And if he sees it I know I’ll know (repeat)

And there’s fighting on the street below

I know there’s fighting on the street below

But I don’t' care coz I’m a Northern Soul

And I’m looking for a way back home

Too busy staying alive (repeat)

Too busy living a lie, too busy living my life

Too busy stayihg alive
