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

I Want to See If You Know Me

See You Take a Look Into My Eyes

I Tell You So Many Lies and Then

I'll Let You Go Into the Night

I'm Alive With Something Inside of Me

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

I'm Gonna Die Alone in Bed

I'm Gonna Die Alone in Bed

I'm Gonna Die Alone in Bed

I'm Gonna Die Alone in Bed

I'm Gonna Die Alone in Bed

I'm Gonna Die Alone in Bed

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 Inside 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

And If He Sees It I Know I'll Know

And There's Fighting On the Street Below

I Know There's Fighting On the Street Below

But I Don't Care Cos I'm a Northern Soul

And I'm Looking For a Way Back Home

And I'm Looking For a Way Back Home
