Burslem Normals

In your face there’s nowt left.
They have defaced the marks you left upon the wall

The writing’s now not there at all,
can you stand what you stood for, are you more normal than before?

Goodbye to the normals x 2

In your place there’s just chavs.
The kids aren’t alright. They know they’re born today

Reaching out to feel the sun at the time it seemed like fun.
I was there when you got done.

There for two weeks by the surf,
you used to know what we were worth before the normals fell to earth

Goodbye to the normals x 2

Whatever happened to, the Meir mortals crew,
the fine young casuals blew a fuse
and all the Burslem lads now that they’re all dads
it meant so much to me, it makes me sad

In your wake, there’s nowt left
