Northward bound
Goodbye to York, to the smoke and the ale
Old Jaggers has sent me beyond the pale
Go north, he bellowed, or it's Hessle Road for you
So I'm driving an Austin that's barely passing through
Stubby Watts promised she'd run like a dream
Just blow out the cobwebs or so it would seem
But the heater is broken, the windows are ice
Taking this assignment came with a price
Exile to hell to be, deep in the white
A detective disgraced in the fading light
The moors are a wedding cake, frosted and cold
A story of secrets waiting to be told
Bang goes the exhaust, a shot in the snow
Nowhere to hide and nowhere to go
(Just keep moving, friend)
I'm scaring the locals, I'm waking the sheep
This climb is too rocky, this hill is too steep
A shudder, a wheeze, and a final black cough
I think this old banger has finally gone off
Two hundred yards short on the side of the track
There is no turning round, there is no going back
So I grab my suitcase, I adjust my hat
I'm walking to prison, or something like that
A village of chimneys under the cloud
Where the silence is heavy and the whispers are loud
Exile to hell to be, deep in the white
A detective disgraced in the fading light
The moors are a wedding cake, frosted and cold
A story of secrets waiting to be told
Welcome to the edge of the world, old boy
Don't slip
