A Northern Soul - Remastered 2016

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 folks don't know

I wanna 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 wanna see if you know me

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

Listen to this

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 right 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

Ah but I don't care cause I'm a northern soul

And I'm looking for a way back home

And I'm looking for a way back home

Too busy staying alive (it keeps turning, everybody's burning, keeping track of a heart attack)

Too busy living a lie (it keeps turning, everybody's learning, keeping track, I'm not coming back)

too busy living my life (it keeps turning, everybody's learning, keeping track, now I'm coming back)

Too busy staying alive (it keeps turning, everybody's learning, keeping track, now I'm coming back)
