i had to post it somewhere.

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.
