OK, could be way off but thought it was worth a try. There’s a song called Byker Hill covered by the Cottars and a few different bands and it has lyrics including:
When first I went down to the dirtI had no cowl nor no pitshirtNow I've gotten two or threeWalker Pit's done well by me…Geordie Charlton, he had a pigYou hit it with a shovel and it danced a jigAll the way to Walker ShoreTo the tune of Elsie Marleymore »
Nirvana's Kurt Cobain: "When I heard the ____ for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily; I should have been in that band - or at least in a ____ cover band."
