ROD, HULL AND EMO    

The driver inserts his favourite tape
As heels dig in to harden
I never promised you the world
You never promised me a rose garden

Round and around stick your ears to the ground
Inhale those fumes, savour that sound
If sniffing the pipes makes your head spin around
It's never, never, never going to get me down
It's never, never, never going to get me down

The games people play with breeze blocks
Air guns, throwing stones
Iron ore and steel, coal trains and oil
Country roads won't take me home

Round and around stick your ears to the ground
Inhale those fumes, savour that sound
If sniffing the pipes makes your head spin around
It's never, never, never going to get me down
It's never, never, never going to get me down

Time to take a tumble
The crowd's shouting for a dive
Billy-Joe jumped off the Humber Bridge
And the judges scored it nine point nine five

Round and around stick your ears to the ground
Inhale those fumes, savour that sound
If sniffing the pipes makes your head spin around
It's never, never, never going to get me down
It's never, never, never going to get me down

The blanket's on the groundman's body
Billy-Joe's in the Humber
Fat sweaty copper 733
What's your number, cucumber?

Round and around stick your ears to the ground
Inhale those fumes, savour that sound
If sniffing the pipes makes your head spin around
It's never, never, never going to get me down
It's never, never, never going to get me down
It's never, never, never going to get me down
Never, never
