Northenden Lyrics
F**k longsight
And Levenshulme
Same goes for Stockport and Hulme
We're doin' alright
Just post-house blues
'cos this is Northenden in the afternoon
The kids are deranged
They love guns and kidnap
That's jus the way we do things here
The day dies down
Not a moment too soon
Under the Northenden afternoon
Northenden Afternoon
Northenden Afternoon
And Levenshulme
Same goes for Stockport and Hulme
We're doin' alright
Just post-house blues
'cos this is Northenden in the afternoon
They love guns and kidnap
That's jus the way we do things here
The day dies down
Not a moment too soon
Under the Northenden afternoon
Northenden Afternoon

Great tune. This song has a surreal quality which, when combined with the dull subject-matter, creates a beautiful, original and very atmospheric song.
beautiful somber song. I have no idea what the lyrics mean but I could listen to this song for hours. it's beautiful.
@misstwiggster Northenden is a run down part of Manchester, not far from where Doves grew up. The same goes for Levenshulme, Longsight, and Hulme. "Post House blues" refers to the Posthouse Hotel in Northenden, now the Britannia Airport Hotel.

@misstwiggster It's an ok part of south Manchester. It's not "run down" though. It's actually quite a trendy place now. It's just surrounded by one of the biggest council estates in Europe; Wythenshawe. I used to fuck about in the Post House when I was a kid...getting chases off the staff with my mates.
