Northern Bank Lyrics

Dear sir
open up unlock the door
we've had enough of sitting idle
and my soul was made for war
you got the power
you got the keys
we got the guns now open up please

it's almost christmas and your vaults are crammed
with presents for the people
a simple plan
a happy holiday we wish you the best
you stay late and we do the rest

brian they tell me you're lying
what should i tell all our children
i can hide the story i can clear your name
but the one thing i can't clear is your own damn shame

well i will wave my blade and your children will cry
i can make them pray for tomorrow
but i'm not that kind of guy
don't dream of heroics cause it's all a shame
it's not even your money it belongs to the land
so take it easy this could take awhile
and while your cash will flow
i can't help but smile

brian this christmas i'll be sighing
what should i tell all our children
brian in this letter i am giving you peace
to be coming out better
i wait your release

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is so tight. It's so fun and nastalgic almost as if they started jamming and decided to record it.
