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
Coming 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 `Cause I`m a Northern Soul
And I`m looking for a way back home
