lyrics

From the shell of the Shell Mex
To Ranks Flour Mill
National Picture Theatre
Front standing there still
From the Prudential Tower
To Hammond's dance floor
We took it and took it
And took it some more

Chorus:
We are the 'Northern Coastal Town'
We pick ourselves up
When your bombs have rained down
And rise from the rubble
You razed to the ground
We are the 'Northern Coastal Town'

This city faced down
The fires of hell
And the ghosts in the basement
Of the old Punch Hotel
You could bomb Decoy Dock
Out to Riverside Quay
But you couldn't stop this port
Getting ships out to sea

Chorus

So when all your bombers
Have landed their load
And you've burned Ellis Terrace
To Holderness Road
We'll dust ourselves down
And we'll call after you:
"See you tomorrow.
Is that the best you can do?"
