Chimneys, Moors and Me letra

I found myself in a wood
'Cause I could
'Cause I couldn't go anywhere else
Little things in my head
Hunker down and divide
Little griefs around a fire
Spreading outwards drifting far
Scorching everything in sight
Breathing out

Our places don't fit the bill
Too much concrete, urban spill
Rawtenstall to Shibden Hall
Chimneys, moors and me
Too industrial, so much rain
Bursts of green against the grey
From the window of this train
Bringing us home again

Realised I'm still outdoors
Flat topped hills and dry stone walls
I am free on this burning moor
River valleys with wooded sides
Lunar landscape at Stoodley Pike
Who decides where beauty lies
Crowded peaks, or a home-made pie
Mushy peas on the side
When it's damp outside

Our places don't fit the bill
Too much concrete, urban spill
Scammy Dam to Heptonstall
Chimneys, moors and me
Too industrial, so much rain
Bursts of green against the grey
From the window of this train
Bringing us home again

Fish 'n' chips without the sea
Hankie of sand at the reservoir
Millionaires without the cash
Cheers, we're happy as we are
How the wind feels on my face
All the things I cannot say
All the tears I cannot mend
All the tears I cannot shed
Hide the feeling from myself
Beneath this hug of trees
I'm breathing in

Our places don't fit the bill
Brutal beauty of mills and hills
Black Dyke brass to Gracie Fields
Chimneys, moors and me
Water, grit, blood and dirt
We're the proudest folk on earth
Pennines pulsing through our veins
Bringing us home again
