lyrics

In the town where I was born we were baptised by the water
In the town where I was born we were raised on hops and brown
From the beaches and the Leas to the rolling hills of Cleadon
There was music ringing til they started bringing the venues down

But mother created a jukebox.
Daddy put the ‘out’ in South, as Shields lost hope.
With the ship docks and collieries closing down, down, down.
it’s amazing the men found anything to laugh about.
But I just see smiles when I close my eyes

In the town where I was born, it was music that ruled Britannia
In the town where I was born we were dyed in black and white
There was nothing going on but we made a lot of entertainment
No we didn’t have money but we always had plenty to do every night

But mother created a jukebox.
Daddy put the ‘out’ in South, as Shields lost hope.
With the ship docks and collieries closing down, down, down.
it’s amazing the men found anything to laugh about.
But I just see smiles when I close my eyes

It’s a ‘get off your arse’ town. That won’t keep wuh [us] down
