Treat me gently – don’t put me down
I want decisions that are taken in my home town
Sever now, sever all –
Give back the power that you stole before.
Southern Comfort breeds a Northern Hell
A cheap pun on words – how come we’ve borne it for so long, hen?
Sever now, sever on down
To the communal sounds of your stomping grounds.
Well, the spirits are out tonight
They’re singing: “Haste ye back for another try –
Do good by us an’ we’ll see you right.”
When Ah grow up Ah want a Civil Tongue
When Ah grow up Ah want a country that fits me in
Sever now, sever all –
Give back the keys you took from County Hall.
Ah believe in a regional voice –
Regional voices in regional choices
Sever-now, sever on down
And cock a snoot at this colonial crown.
The spirits are out tonight
Singing: “Haste ye back for another try –
Do good by us an’ we’ll sithee reight.”
