Let’s look at the North frozen wastelands
Win them over boys again.
Tell the same stories, change the words
Dangle carrots full of powerful pain.
Yes, I know we told them that last year
Also probably the one before
Saying we’d give them help
It’s the North, they only settle scores.
Subdue, substitute and ignore
All we’ve ever done to the place
We’ll keep our powerhouse for us
Tell them it’s impossible, save our face.
Forget it now, this promise to the North
All they do is march, pour forth
Didn’t go to our old chaps schools
They can’t see we’re a ship of fools.
