_West Yorkshire Death Song_
 by The Gillroyd Parade

Collect all of your money
Throw some clothes into a bag
We're riding to West Yorkshire and we won't be coming back
And I say "Hey man, quit laughing,
you should not kid around
'Cause we're stuck here in West Yorkshire till we're six feet underground."

Telephone your loved ones
Tell them the good news
Say "We're living in West Yorkshire and we've got West Yorkshire Blues"
And on the buses when they're running
We will sit and make our peace
'Cause we know that from West Yorkshire's binds we'll never find release

I hear it's not much fun in Dewsbury
And that's probably quite fair
But there has gotta be some people who are not so bad out there
And you say "Hey man, you're trippin' we won't make it out alive!"
And I say "You can have fun anywhere, if you really try"

Camouflage your face up
Before we hit the town
There's a coach-load in from Kiethly, come to paint the city brown
And though the streets are loud and crowded
And the bars are heaving too
We're gonna die here in West Yorkshire, it's the trendy thing to do

"Give me all your money
Cos I'm going to the bar
And I'm gonna buy a lot of drinks this twenty won't go far"
And you say "Hey man, be careful,
Watch out what you do,
In West Yorkshire CCTV is always watching you"

I say "Don't get down and lonely
When there's so many friends here"
You say "Hey man, that's all nonsense 'cause there's so much here to fear"
I say "Don't you think of leaving, don't you even try
'Cause West Yorkshire in the summertime is where we both must die"

Buy a ticket at the station
And then jump on any train
Take a look out of the window and just try remembering
All of the things that you knew once that won't be coming back
'Cause we'll be living in West Yorkshire until we fade to black.
