Wigan Soul Poem
The Fall · Other Songs - The Fall
North soul boy flunked music collegeNorthwest boy instrument
was compulsoryWigan soul boy is up on rare disk knowledgeMarried
soul man is a reformed characterShadow of the manIt
must have been the grammesKnown as a mouse nowAnd always
asks the timeStill a soul boy and hates the midnight
runnersTo this boy wigan oration is kid's stuffHe's
not a rough boy, but buanned from every pubWas a piss-up
freak till he lost his nerveYou can't give all to soul
and never get it backCatch the bus boyAnd run to your
wifeAnd run to your wife
