Turn It Down Songtext
von The Orb

You see there was a tradition in Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough always was traditionally highest beer-
Drinking community in the whole of the British Isles
And indeed during the war years, I started
Government arrangements in Hebble Hill
Because you see with the blackout and all the rest of it
I had got with the revenue arrangement that they had an income
Tax on the milk that they had to consume for their jobs
You see, I told you about the continuous pickler
Coming out from there, the acid and all that on the milk
But up in Middlesbrough they had a beer allowance, not milk, beer
The beer drunk up there was always of a higher
Gravity than anywhere else in the country
As a matter of fact they used to classify The beer down in and was drinking
We put up with queuing, we put up with rationing, we put up
With the bombing because we were having it up there, I did
But we will not put up with any interference in our beer
Now if you want to avoid trouble you
Better restore that high gravity beer
And they did, and they did
And where am I heading for?
And, uh, I can always remember the first
Thing going there being caught short
You will require a long black and a short white
And, uh, it′s just a gorgeous trackin'
It′s that noise up there somewhere
