[00:00.000] 作词 : Louis Dunford
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Louis Dunford
[00:43.202]As I walk these streets alone
[00:45.698]Through this borough I call home
[00:47.890]Upon the baron fields of Highbury
[00:50.188]Neath the stadiums of stone
[00:52.161]Through the turnstiles at The Angel
[00:54.358]See the homeless on the green
[00:56.557]From The Cally to The Cross
[00:58.520]And every s******e in between
[01:00.839]Pass the church, the mosque, a crack den
[01:03.456]And the offie on the corner
[01:05.491]See the brasses from the brothel
[01:07.392]That pretends to be a sauna
[01:09.406]Watch the bedlam in the bookies
[01:11.632]See the winners and the losers
[01:13.615]Seeking solace from their sorrow
[01:16.134]In the local battle cruisers
[01:18.254]Through the madness in the market
[01:20.164]Weathered faces turn to greet ya
[01:22.726]“Hello governor,how's your mother?”
[01:24.714]“You alright, son, be lucky geezer”
[01:27.326]Double pie and mash and liquor
[01:28.938]A Cuppa Rosie Lee up chap
[01:30.649]Or watch retired gangsters bicker
[01:33.182]Everyday in Arthur's cafe
[01:35.304]The little ****ers causing trouble
[01:37.205]For the cozzers make you smile
[01:39.414]You meet ya muckers for a couple
[01:41.788]Forget your troubles for a while
[01:43.613]From The Thornhill to The Hemmy
[01:46.343]All the faces are the same
[01:48.434]'Cause The manor might be changing
[01:50.863]But the people still remain
[02:01.489]North London forever
[02:06.228]Whatever the weather
[02:11.064]These streets are our own
[02:11.647]And my heart will leave you never
[02:19.513]My blood will forever
[02:24.392]Run through the stone
[02:38.927]As I walk these streets alone
[02:40.727]Through a kingdom made of chrome
[02:42.645]I see them ripping up the cobbles
[02:45.062]And tearing down our childhood homes
[02:47.067]I see the architecture changing
[02:49.938]Watch the history disappear
[02:51.598]And the skyline rearranging
[02:53.655]Into towers of veneer
[02:55.258]But I see the remnants of the London
[02:57.971]That they thought they could erase
[03:00.119]Every time I hear the old school
[03:02.171]Talk about the good old days
[03:04.247]Every time I watch the football
[03:06.886]And have a ruby with the lads
[03:09.048]See an hoister selling clobber
[03:11.378]Or a dealer shotting bags
[03:12.974]It's in the single mothers juggling
[03:15.263]A baby and a job
[03:17.553]In every single brother struggling
[03:19.475]That wound up in the dock
[03:21.570]It's in the roots and the foundations
[03:23.972]Still clinging to the land
[03:26.024]It's in the bricks that built The Morland
[03:28.343]And Popham that still stand
[03:30.442]It's in my family and my friends
[03:32.078]In every gram and every Benz
[03:34.432]It's in the roots that we inherit
[03:38.952]When a generation ends
[03:41.303]It's in the ruins of your youth
[03:41.738]And the faces of your past
[03:43.575]'Cause the manor may be changing
[03:48.148]But the people always last
[03:48.833]North London forever
[03:56.532]Whatever the weather
[04:01.620]These streets are our own
[04:05.949]And my heart will leave you never
[04:14.963]My blood will forever
[04:19.870]Run through the stone
