life in the city on the radio one day after school
there was I in detention feeling quiet a fool
teacher said don’t you know the life cycle of a goat
dixie replied and said hold on “I will get my coat”

If I remember correctly, the coat was a Parka.

...there you go Noel, the first line for verse 3!

The first, Noel!

I'll get my coat...

Life in the city it was just after school

Stuck in detention and was feeling a fool

Somebody shouted to send me to Poole

I’ve never been there but I heard it is cool!

Oh oh oh oh, one of the southern people

Oh oh oh oh, no one knows who to blame now!

Those kind of people just tell me I’m northern

Old cobbled streets and the clogs we were born in

Watching the ground all the time that I’m walking

Eyes open wide in case of something I walk in!

Oh oh oh oh, some of the southern people

Oh oh oh oh, no one knows if we’re tame now!

Across the field there’s an open gate

With some sheep walking over the road

Flat hats and pies and our pants held by cord

Nobody cares because we live above Watford

Oh oh oh oh, not one of the southern people

Oh oh oh oh, no one knows of the shame now!

If I remember correctly, the coat was a Parka

Fur round the front and words written in marker

Hiding my face and my daddies old braces

The smell was quite rich and is smelt from five paces!

Oh oh oh oh, not one of the southern people

Oh oh oh oh, nobody knows of our fate now!
