What do you think of the criticism that you're not very good?
You're asking me will my love grow. I don't know, I don't know. You stick around now it may show. I don't know, I don't know

It doesn't really matter what chords I play, what words I say or time of day it is, as it's only a Northern Song.
Life goes on within you and without you
