If you're listening to this song
  You may think the chords are going wrong
  But they're not;
  He just wrote it like that.
  It doesn't really matter what chords I play
  What words I say or time of day it is
  As it's only a Northern song
  It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
  Or how I fare or if my hair is brown
  When it's only a Northern song.
  When you're listening late at night
  You may think the band are not quite right
  But they are, they just play it like that
  It doesn't really matter what chords I play
  What words I say or time of day it is
  As it's only a Northern song.
  It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
  Or how I fare or if my hair is brown
  When it's only a Northern song.
  If you think the harmony
  Is a little dark and out of key
  You're correct, there's nobody there.
  It doesn't really matter what chords I play
  What words I say or time of day it is
  And I told you there's no one there.
