It's true that round here has seen better days
broken dreams run from the architechture
peeling the paintworks and staining the pavements
not like the time when it glowed like the sun
the november lights at christmas time, the Tivoli roar down at Millmoor
So,
When I'm old or if I die, or got no money to get me by
when the whiskey's dripping from my tongue do me a favour drop me off in Rotherham
'cos even though its a shithole,
I love my mum and dad and its my home
and even though the two of them made me bald, Ive never really known that they're my heroes my younger brother we used to fight,
I threw him down the stairs and he started to cry
nowadays I think 'what a bad move Lee',
cos now he's older he can kick the shit out of me
When I'm old or if I die,
if I cant get my washing dry
if my bird runs off with another man
do me a favour drop me off in Rotherham
'cos all my nans friends are coming for tea,
just the usual cauliflower, carrots and peas
they'll sit chit chatting of times now and then
whilst grandad sneaks away for a crafty cigarette
I went away and I came back,
I thought I was something special but I'm not all that
I only grew tits and I got a bit fat,
thank God, I realised I'm just a part of the pack my friend
So when I'm old or if I die,
or got no money to get me by
when the whiskey's dripping from my tongue
do me a favour drop me off in Rotherham!
Beautiful song.
