Northern Soul Year: 2000
Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)
blood on the streets of old Glasgow
speak your peace then you go
everybody standing in the halogen glow
everybody diggin' on a northern soul
and you're coming up slow
situation worthless
and you're coming up slow
just to break the surface
and you may need to walk me
through the first kiss
new love we have found
when you're coming up slow
after a long long way going down
running on empty and the palms they sweat
we got a kingdom of love breathing down our neck
and you get bigger as you shrink in size
yeah hope i live before i die
there's a hard rain falling
and all my wishes true
i have lingered just to be with you
i know you say your hands are clean
i hope that all is true
i've lingered just to be with you tonight
lined up in the crosshairs of your sight
fill the shot glass of dark with an ocean of light
blood on the streets of old Glasgow
everybody diggin' on a northern soul
Did You Know?
"Northern Soul" documents the Vigilantes of Love's tour experiences in the UK during the fall of 2000. The lyrics came to him after playing a show in Glasgow, Scotland, which was attended by six people.
