Northern Nights Songtext
von Jerusalem

Used to drink in Rose Street
Pick up girls in the Café Royal
Girls to give you the shivers
Girls to make your blood boil
Our first seat at sunrise
Still stoned from the night before
Listening to the soft parade
Whilst tripping on Harry′s floor

Chess pieces made of china
Poems made of blood and guts
Acting till we all won Oscars
Otis Blue in vinyl ruts

Steam-filled rolls from the bakers
Walking through the biting cold
Now all those northern nights
Seem a hundred years ago


But here we are
All stretched out in a stretch limo car
But we're not so far
From all those northern nights
Those wonderful delights

Do you still remember me
Cos I still remember you

Don′t let me walk on by
If you don't catch my eye
Don't you walk on by

Hey, are you listening?
Why don′t you just stop
Turn around
Talk

Overcoats down to the ankles
Hats jammed on our frozen heads
Humming the layers of The Onion
Fine tuning The North′s Finest in bed

Gabendore's a CND slogan
High up on the castle rock
Laughing till we got the munchies
Spread-eagled with Chastity unlocked


Now here we are
All chewed up in a big Jaguar
But we′re not so far
From all those northern nights
Those wonderful delights

Yeah, this is about you, Amyra

Hey there, baby
You're a fast train to nowhere
Stop at my station
I′ll punch your ticket, any time
