Lancashire State Of Mind (New York Parody)

EJ:
Yeah I'm out in Darwen
Going down Netto Lane
Right near the Youthy
Bulldog was my favourite game
Used to live up BV
Hang around @ Sunnyhurst,
Never up Whitehall,
Walking made my feet hurt
Now I chill in Darren
With my boys and my girls
Right down at the motorway,
Stuff your face at McDonalds'
On my days off
You'll find me at the Library
A Brew in the market
The locals so friendly
Tourin' Duckworth Street
Going up Bolton Road
Come around Darwen
Just see what the town holds
Used to have Crown Paints
Still got cobbled roads,
Have a pint in the Bridge
And see a theatre show
You can see India Mill
You can go up Darwen Tower
One week out of 52,
It ain't rain and showers
I got webbed fingers,
Don't know what the wheel is,
You can tell that I'm deffo from .....

Coops:
Darwen!
The mill town where the rain's always pouring
Some say it's dead boring
You know you're in Darwen
We've got moorland aplenty
Had a visit off Ghandi,
Let's hear it for Darwen, Darwen, Darwen

Paul:
Accrington Gangster
Catch me at the Stanley Game
I don't watch the match though
Got a pint with my name
Shopping in the market
Fish for me Friday tea
It's a bang tidy place
Oldest in the country
Mystic Meg were born here
Atmosphere you get for free
On Broadway,
The ladies looking nicely
Checking out Winstanley
The Gangsta with the ices

(Pause: EJ: 'Give me strength')

EJ:
Get a bus
Get a train
Get a cab, Hollaback
Terraces are fly when you see them from the train tracks
Cenotaph, Oak Hill Park,
Accrington Victoria
They made lots of iron
In the thirties and Forties
One bus to Darwen
One bus to Chorley
We got Accy Carnival
Sunny ocassionally
Long livin' Hyndburn
Promise we ain't jestin'
'Cos we're at the centre of...

Coops:
Accy!
We got Aldi & Lidl,
We're right in the middle,
Let's hear it for Accy,
Here lives Hayley Cropper,
Be a Marks & Sparks Shopper,
Let's hear it for Accy, Accy, Accy

Paul:
Blackburn is blinding
It's nearly a city
We just got a Primark
Opening by Ricky
Home of the Rovers
But Tommy Balls shut down
No more trying shoes on
Shop floor shuffle 'round
Blackburn Celebrities
Hemmingway and Lee Mack
Josephine Cox
Book baby got back
Carl Fogarty and
Lovejoy was born here
We got the ice arena
Home to the Thwaites Beers
Beers in the Postal
Go see Cathedral
Swimming in Waves
& Degrees at Blackburn Coll
Coconut Grove has now
Turned Liquid Envy
The Mall got remade and
There's more free Parking
No longer Queens park,
No more Infirm'ry
Blackburn Royal was
Opened by the Queen
From Lammack to Mellor
I wanna hear you a holler
Cos with this iron lady
We're stood in......

Coops:
Blackburn!
And we're not too tardy
We're Jack's Barmy Army
Let's hear it for Blackburn
We're not dingles like Burnley
Our women aren't hairy
Let's hear it for Blackburn, Blackburn, Blackburn

Hands up Lancashire county
Loved by 1-0-7
the Bee
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air
Bee A-rea,
come on
Come on
Bee Area....

We love Blackburn
Darwen, Hyndburn, Ribble Valley
More music variety,
Coops, EJ, Winstanley
On Bee radio Breaky
We should really be working
Instead we're just messing
But thank you for listening....

Just listening to The Bee this morning - Where's EJ?? No EJ on the schedule at all, just Weekday Winstanley, and then "Non Stop Music" has this station gone to the dogs and sold out like all the rest to some massive co-orprat radio group that just clones every other station going? Shame if that's the case as The Bee was the only major commercial station in the NW that hadn't sold out and become a clone.

Well done top song, only visited Accrington once for Xmas lights this year, despite having visited every where else in the North West. Need to spend some time shopping in Hyndburn and visit properly. I'm from Warrington (went to Uni in Preston) but have heard The Bee on the net a few times, top radio station and main reason why I visited for the lights switch on after picking the station up whilst shopping in Preston.

EJ's evening show was always a good listen, funnier than Chris Moyles ;).
