[Verse 1]
Gateshead, you were the first and my last
But time just flies so fast
You barely see it
Gateshead ohh, you were the first and my last
But they said we'd never last
But what do they know?
[Verse 2]
The high street, wow, look how far you've come
Maybe I'll come home in two years and you will all be done
Slowly, so slowly, we'll force the scum away
Just keep on gentrifying til it's one big middle cla** holiday
[Chorus]
Maybe one day, there'll be pretty girls in Gateshead
I hope to God that that's the case
Cos if there's no pretty girls in Gateshead
I will never show my face
