Facing North

from Skirt Above the Knees • 2025


[Verse 1]
We were young and in love,
As rain fell hard from far above,
Freezing in the dark and cold (so cold, so cold),
Come into my arms I'll hold,


[Pre-Chorus]
Hold you tighter, hold you hotter 
You know what I'm wearing, no fear of water,
Three curved lines, look into my eyes,
Three curved lines, you know what that implies,

[Chorus]
FACE-IN. NORTH. LIKE WE ALWAYS DID. (ALWAYS DID)

ZIPPED UP TIGHT. NO NEED FOR FRIGHT. (OH OH OHHHH)

FACE-IN. NORTH. IT'S OUR ARMOUR, IT'S OUR PRIDE. (IT'S OUR PRIDE)

I GAVE HER MY JACKET. SHE NEVER SAID GOODBYE. (NEVER SAID GOODBYE - NEVER SAID GOODBYE)

FACE-IN. NORTH. 

[Verse 2]
Worn all round the scheme they are,
Worn at a funeral or your favourite bar,
Standing in line waiting for a bus,
Cold and rain? Sure there's no fuss (no fuss, no fuss)


[Pre-Chorus]
Hold you tighter, hold you hotter 
You know what I'm wearing, no fear of water,
Three curved lines, look into my eyes,
Three curved lines, you know what that implies,

[Chorus]
FACE-IN. NORTH. LIKE WE ALWAYS DID. (ALWAYS DID)

ZIPPED UP TIGHT. NO NEED FOR FRIGHT. (OH OH OHHHH)

FACE-IN. NORTH. IT'S OUR ARMOUR, IT'S OUR PRIDE. (IT'S OUR PRIDE)

I GAVE HER MY JACKET. SHE NEVER SAID GOODBYE. (NEVER SAID GOODBYE - NEVER SAID GOODBYE)

FACE-IN. NORTH. 

[Bridge]
She held me close she held me near,
And when she left she fulfilled my fear,
For she took my jacket my north face pride,
She took it with her into the night,
Where are you now my north face light?

[Big Finish]
It held me tighter, held me hotter, 
When I was wearing, no fear of water,
Three curved lines, burned into my eyes,
Three curved lines, you know what that implies,

FACE-IN. NORTH. LIKE WE ALWAYS DID. (ALWAYS DID)

ZIPPED UP TIGHT. NO NEED FOR FRIGHT. (OH OH OHHHH)

FACE-IN. NORTH. IT'S OUR ARMOUR, IT'S OUR PRIDE. (IT'S OUR PRIDE)

I GAVE HER MY JACKET. SHE NEVER SAID GOODBYE. (NEVER SAID GOODBYE - NEVER SAID GOODBYE)

FACE-IN. NORTH.
