Tour de World
Northside Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dover takes
You out to sea
And beyond
True freedom lies
Place where
You feel at ease,
So it seems,
More sunny skies
Discover pastures far and wide
Foreign lands and splendid tans
Summer's near, light nights are here
Enjoy it while you can
Take your
Travelling light
Can be alright,
It just means
Less to haul
Sour out your life
On your first night
Then you can
Have a ball
And there's facts and sights i'd love too see
History and works of art
Express trains and aeroplanes are where you usually start

Take your
The globe is round
Yeah the globe is round
The globe is round




The globe is round
Ciao!
