about

A song written about my hometown.

lyrics

Song : Manchester

Verse One
Left 20 years ago but still think it’s a cool city
Yeah bad stuff happens & that’s just a pity

Some think it’s all industrial and cotton milling
And it gets bad press when it has a killing

But it just keeps getting right back on.
Nothing stops it not even a bomb

Chorus
Manchester, Manchester the city is mint
Manchester, Manchester some of the people are skint
But that doesn’t matter ya daft apeth
‘Cos in Manchester it’s what we maketh


Verse Two
The buzz of the city, the ambience around
We’re off out & we’re going downtown
Shopping in Afflecks, walking down Deansgate
Going with our kid, me sis & her best mate

Visit yer auntie as she puts on the kettle
Happy to see you & in fine fettle
And if you’re a bit peckish maybe stay for tea
To uninitiated, that’s dinner for me

Chorus
Manchester, Manchester the city is mint
Manchester, Manchester some of the people are skint
But that doesn’t matter ya daft apeth
‘Cos in Manchester it what’s we maketh

If you’re hungry have some scran
Spinning Fields or the Northern Quarter
Go with your friends, your mum,
Your nan or even your daughter

Fancy something Asian
We’ve got Curry mile
It’s all oriental
It’ll put a face to your smile

But if you’ve gotta Rusholme
To get yer hats Ancoats
It’s gotta be Baltic
For us to take note



Yes it’s got a few Richard Heads
Met a couple today
But it’s still a great city
Though the weather is grey


Well this is Manchester
We’re on the up
We got sport & the Gallaghers
who never shut up


Chorus
Manchester, Manchester the city is mint
Manchester, Manchester some of the people are skint
But that doesn’t matter ya daft apeth
‘Cos in Manchester it’s what we maketh

You can visit the village
Which brings Pride to the city
People are tolerant
Humorous & gritty


So you see Manchester has lots to offer
Nightlife, shopping, music, and sport
And it’s a great place to study
Cultivating thinkers and thought

Chorus
Manchester, Manchester the city is mint
Manchester, Manchester some of the people are skint
But that doesn’t matter ya daft ‘apeth
‘Cos in Manchester it what’s we maketh
