If you're list'ning to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not; he just wrote it like that

When you're list'ning 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
