STANDING ON THE BANKS OF THE TYNE,
KIDS ARE CATCHING FISH ON A LINE,
I CAN REMEMBER WHEN THE WATERS HERE,
WEREN'T QUITE SO CLEAR.
CHILD OF THE TYNE,
CHILD OF THE TYNE.
DRINKING AT A NIGHT ON THE TOWN,
CRAVE ANOTHER BOTTLE OF BROWN,
I CAN REMEMBER WHEN THE BEER UP HERE,
WASN'T QUITE SO CLEAR.
CHILD OF THE TYNE,

"NEVER REMEMBER THE BAD TIMES,"
THAT'S WHAT MY FATHER SAID,
"ONLY REMEMBER THE GLAD TIMES, "
RINGING IN MY HEAD.
-INSTRUMENTAL BREAK-
CHILD OF THE TYNE,
CHILD OF THE TYNE.
TOOK MYSELF TO WHERE I WAS BORN,
IT LOOKED A LITTLE TATTERED AND WORN,
I CAN REMEMBER ALL THE SHIPYARDS HERE,
LIKE IT WAS JUST LAST YEAR.
CHILD OF THE TYNE,
CHILD OF THE TYNE.
THIS IS WHERE I FEEL I BELONG,
PEOPLE HERE ARE FRIENDLY AND STRONG,
I CAN REMEMBER FEELING VERY PROUD,
I WANT TO SHOUT OUT LOUD.
CHILD OF THE TYNE,
CHILD OF THE TYNE.
"NEVER REMEMBER THE BAD TIMES,"
THAT#39;S WHAT MY FATHER SAID,
"ONLY REMEMBER THE GLAD TIMES,"
RINGING IN MY HEAD.
