If you’re listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they’re not— We just wrote them like that

If you’re listening late at night
You may think the band are not quite right
But they are— They just play it like that

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
What words I pair or if my hair is brown
‘Cause it’s only a Northern song . . .

If you think the harmony
Is a little dull and out of key
You’re correct— there’s nobody there

And it’s only there’s no one there . . .
