Elvis Costello - North The East has that Englishmen And the rising sun The West has the open plains And how they were won On Independence Day For all it's worth You can ring those southern belles I'm heading... North Up were the rushing rivers run and salmon leap I could even get there in my sleep Give me the ice and snow Let me go... North So run up a banner and we'll stand underneath You gave me a starry flag For one with a leaf I'm on the borderline I jump back and forth There's nothing to stop me now I'm heading... North Up where the polar bears and moose and geese will play And some of them address you en francais Give me the ice and snow Let me go... North And so I must leave you all Alas and alack And though we are parting now I'll always come back So as the compass points That's where I'll be But if you could only see The perfection of...North It's somewhere I will always carry in my heart A place when dreams begin and life can start Who cares what people know? Let me go... North END
