Northern Whale Lyrics
Another wave crash over you
It put you in a spell
On a cold place
You know well
It pulls you further out to sea
Under the lights at Tilbury
Life still love
Your melody
In a tide end town
Everyone hallucinating on you
But a northern whale
Wouldn't leave you until England's tears are done
When the day comes, we'll move on endlessly
They only see you in a dream
Lying by a dark machine
Sing on love
Your melody
In a tide end town
Everyone hallucinating with you
But a northern whale
Wouldn't leave you until all our tears are done
When the day comes, he'll move on endlessly
It put you in a spell
On a cold place
You know well
Under the lights at Tilbury
Life still love
Your melody
Everyone hallucinating on you
But a northern whale
Wouldn't leave you until England's tears are done
When the day comes, we'll move on endlessly
Lying by a dark machine
Sing on love
Your melody
Everyone hallucinating with you
But a northern whale
Wouldn't leave you until all our tears are done
When the day comes, he'll move on endlessly

beautiful song **
...i don't think the lyrics in the booklet are accurate, sounds like he says:
Lying by a 'sad' machine (instead of 'dark)
Before anybody gets into an argument (not likely, very few people have heard TGTBATQ) it started off as a love song to Albarns partner, but then when that whale washed up that river, he changed it to a song about that whale...Now the lyrics make sense
note the whale calls everynow and again in the background
