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.
