Livin' On Newton Hall

(album: Anniversary Anthems - 2000)

A thousand streets of 2 bedroom semis
We always dreamed that we'd have one o'these
Oh what a pity they were built by Wimpey's

That common lot drove us round the bend
So we moved up to Durham's posh end
The likes of us don't need no council dives
This is the sound of our sorry lives

We're all living on Newton hall, Newton hall, Newton hall
We're all living on Newton hall, Newton hall, Newton hall
Now

Oi! Look what I've got, a new Mondeo
I polish it but it's only for show
I tell myself that we're middle class
He walks around with his head up his arse

Living on Newton hall, living on Newton hall
Where would we be if not here
Living on Newton hall, living on Newton hall
Where would we be if not here

Newton hall, Newton hall (Newton hall)
Gotta get away from Newton hall
Right now

A thousand streets of shoe box semis
It's a nightmare living in one o'these
We never dreamed it would end up like this
This housing estates just taking the piss

Living on Newton hall, living on Newton hall
Where would we be if not here
Living on Newton hall, living on Newton hall
Where would we be if not here
Living on Newton hall, living on Newton hall
Where would we be if not here
Living on Newton hall, living on Newton hall
Where would we be if not here
Living on Newton hall
