[spoken intro] [Mick] Stay here then, turn into zombies [gasp] [Christine] Ooh Mick, is it really going to be that different somewhere else? [Trisha] What's the matter with him, anyway? [Steve] Listen mate, it might be a dump, but it’s home [Trisha] Yeah! [Mick] Not mine, it isn't... [song begins] [Mick] Never again, not ever in Netherton Bye bye, the Bamber Street Gang [Christine] Who all promised that they Would never leave Netherton by going away [Chorus] A hundrеd houses west by cycle routеway Theres a great and golden land beyond the railway Here, because it's basically here So climb up through the chimney and gaze with me Upon your neighbourhood community [Mick] But I was only just a television supper Watching cushion covers play with another So never again, not ever in Netherton I’m not a milky bar man [Christine] No you're a dead giveaway Together in Netherton means always the same [Chorus] Cindy with her sun-lounge of Meccano Will never send our windy house to Harlow Hung, on a gate of a post-war pebbled estate We ran away from school to the paddling pools Of Atherstone Avenue [Mick] But I was on the outside No time, no place, no date of birth [Christine] There's nothing wild or especially new About a lodger in London who melts away in the multitude [Steve] So off you go on your National bus And when you've learned to live with us [All] We'll be waiting in Netherton Whitewashed and window-lened in Netherton In Netheron, all mellow in moisture cream in Netherton In Netherton, close your eyes and there's Morecombe & Wise In Netherton, they're planting far more roses than vines [Mick] Which is all very true, but what will you do When house-prices all go up through the roof?
