The Fall - Wigan Soul Poem lyrics

North soul boy flunked music college Northwest boy instrument was compulsory Wigan soul boy is up on rare disk knowledge Married soul man is a reformed character Shadow of the man It must have been the grammes Known as a mouse now And always asks the time Still a soul boy and hates the midnight runners To this boy wigan oration is kid's stuff He's not a rough boy, but buanned from every pub Was a piss-up freak till he lost his nerve You can't give all to soul and never get it back Catch the bus boy And run to your wife And run to your wife
