This song is going out to the whole wide Northside
D’ya know what I mean?
I was just a youngone living in Dublin
Finglas near the Village
Back in the days when Boyzone and B*Witched had everybody singing stuff like C'est La Vie
Remember Tesco used to be Janelle
And everybody used to know the lads from Aslan well
Christy Dignam went on the Late Late Show
And told us all how to ride for the Northside
So people if you’re with me where you at
Throw your hands in the air and wave them like you just don’t care
From Coolock out to Blanch and all the rest
It's bleeding obvious the Northside is the best
Take a look around
There’s nowhere else like it now
And it keeps on growing and it won’t stop
Half of Europe lives in Blanchardstown
Make some bloody noise for the Northside
I remember long ago
The Omni Centre was the place to go
And we’d go knacker drinking up the hill in Howth
Go to Dallyer to see the Bohs
Under 18's Friday night in the Temple
Mark McCabe was the best
And all the youngfellas in their vests
Do you remember them riots in town?
We tried to burn Clerys down
One time for everyone that’s in the joy
They’re missing Brennan’s bread and a lovely fry
2 times for the Turkish blokes what build the buildings
And unmarried mothers with their little children
3 times for the people that are on the run
And for the towers out in Ballymun
One day everything's gonna be fine
But until that day my only reply
Is Northside to the line
So people if you’re with me where you at
Throw your hands in the air and wave them like you just don’t care
From Coolock out to Blanch and all the rest
It's bleeding obvious the Northside is the best
Take a look around
There’s nowhere else like it now
And it keeps on growing and it wont stop
Half of Europe lives in Blanchardstown
Make some bloody noise for the Northside
From Cabra to Griffith Avenue
All I can see youngones and youngfellas
Driving souped up cars
Glanza Turbos, Honda Civics, Peugeot 206s
Gangsters and their *** crusing the M50
Although going very slow
Coz that’s a bleeding joke
What a state that thing is
Despite the poxy traffic and the M50 though
Northside living be the best for me
One time for everyone that’s in the joy
They’re missing Brennan’s bread and a lovely fry
2 times for the Turkish blokes what build the buildings
And unmarried mothers with their little children
3 times for the people that are on the run
And for the towers out in Ballymun
One day everything's gonna be fine
But until that day me only reply
Is Northside to the line
So people if you’re with me where you at
Throw your hands in the air and wave them like you just don’t care
From Coolock out to Blanch and all the rest
It's bleeding obvious the Northside is the best
Take a look around
There’s nowhere else like it now
And it keeps on growing and it wont stop
Half of Europe lives in Blanchardstown
Make some bloody noise for the Northside
