Demo of an original song. The chorus words are, for the most part, loosely based on political quotes attributed to former UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher. It’s a song about the north-south divide, the UK class system, and how political ideology impacts on real people’s lives.
NORTHERN BOYS AND GIRLS © Javolenus 2013 * northern boys and northern girls scrimping in a northern world zero hours dole and debt northern boys and northern girls scrimping in a northern world slipping through the safety net * no such thing as society just individuals and families close the mines and factories save our souls from equality * northern girls and northern boys nobody hears your voice toxic landscape in meltdown northern girls and northern boys nobody hears your voice killed by cuts from london town * well pennies don’t fall from heaven they must be earned here on earth so u-turn if you like, jump on your granddad’s bike coz i know your price but not your worth * northern boys and northern girls cast your swine before the pearls crash another cigarette northern boys and northern girls cast your swine before the pearls this is as good as it will get * and any man living here seen on a bus beyond his thirtieth year can count himself a failure as an entrepreneur * northern girls and northern boys can’t afford no southern toys go back home don’t make a fuss northern girls and northern boys can’t afford no southern toys here’s some change for the bus … *
