Now for the Anthology II version:

The Anthology version has different words, here's my attempt at picking

these:

If you're listening to this song

You may think the chords are going wrong

But they're not, I just wrote it like that

When you listen late at night

You may feel the words are not quite right

But they are, I just wrote them myself

And it doesn't really matter what chords I play

What words I say or time of day it is

As it's only a Northern song.

It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear

Or how I fare or if my hair is brown

When it's only a Northern song.

If you think the harmony

Is a little off and out of key

Then you're right 'cos I sing it myself.

That's it. If you've got the keyboard part or the bass, I'd be grateful

to see it. Any comments, corrections etc, mail me.
