00:21 I think it's fair to say we've seen a few wild times in this home that we love
00:24 We've had our troubles but we've also done a whole lot of good
00:27 We're a humble folk, most of us are common as muck
00:30 But stick together when we need to with no apologies
00:32 Look, a town that is a misery, the usual status
00:35 But there's also lots of history and beautiful places
00:38 Humour that's famously harsh
00:40 If you want on your air game you'll be ripped to lots of pieces
00:42 Best to arm up and take aim
00:44 But it's a form of affection, a proper northern perspective
00:47 Don't be over defensive, you know it's all for the friendship
00:50 That's how we roll, gotta show your defiance
00:52 'Cause if you can't laugh at yourself then you'll be thrown to the lions
00:55 Could be the Burnley brothers or those from upstoops
00:58 Rosehill are good at banter and all their stuff too
01:01 Cole Clough has what we scuppered, their former good crew
01:03 Cornwall has got some plaudits, God knows they're pulled through
01:06 Eyton Hill, they keep a watch from up high
01:09 Gannertop, they rock it proper with loads of good types
01:12 Paddyham Road is ferocious and classed with the words
01:15 Brunch has got us covered looking after the turf
01:17 Laneheaders, well they're headers like it says in the title
01:20 Top of the town is holding it down, yes they're vital
01:23 Brian Cliff and Rose Grove, they honour the deal
01:25 And if I miss you from the list, well then I'm sorry for real
01:28 Anyway, the message is there's more than meets the eye
01:31 Don't believe what all the newspapers report, come see the sights
01:34 So we may not be all polished with that heavenly look
01:37 But we're people with a lot to give, especially love
01:40 You make a friend of us, you make a friend for your life
01:42 That will defend you 'til the end and give you anything, why?
01:45 Well the reason is we know just how it feels in the struggle
01:48 And we figure that together we can deal with our troubles
