Northern Holiday - Kaiser Chiefs

Almost always travellin'

My jumper’s been unravellin'

I snagged it on the doorpost as I left

No worth in seeing the world alone

Or following the threads back home

Apologising in my pants and vest

I know you were watching

I was on TV

I know that you were looking

Out for me

One of these days, I’ll meet you

One of these days, I’ll need to

One of these days, can I meet you?

One of these days

You were right, I was wrong

I forgot where I’m from

On a northern holiday

You were right, I was wrong

We’re all off, come along

On a northern holiday

And I could order sandwiches

In over forty languages

But they don’t make 'em like you do at home

They send us out in thunderstorms

And send us home in bandages

Turns out the streets are paved with paving stone

I know you were watching

On your Dial-a-Tron TV

I know that you were looking

Out for me

One of these days, I’ll meet you

One of these days, I’ll need to

One of these days, can I meet you?

One of these days

You were right, I was wrong

I forgot where I’m from

On a northern holiday

You were right, I was wrong

We’re all off, come along

On a northern holiday

One of these days, I’ll meet you

One of these days, I’ll need to

One of these days, can I meet you?

One of these days

You were right, I was wrong

I forgot where I’m from

On a northern holiday

You were right, I was wrong

We’re all off, come along

On a northern holiday

You were right, I was wrong (one of these days)

I forgot where I’m from (I'll meet you)

On a northern holiday (one of these days)

You were right, I was wrong (I'll need to)

We’re all off, come along (one of these days)

On a northern holiday (can I meet you?)
