Manchester lyrics

Oldham streets

Built to bruise

Freckled face

And a pair of shuffling shoes

Hot pink and red

Rain and booze

Running fast

Past the cotton mill crews

Darkness creeps

Through the halls

'Til the walls come tumbling down

Hold my hand

I can tell

Heart beats fast through the streets downtown

I would throw it all away and choose

If I could have been born three blocks from you

And we burn this city to the ground

Manchester ruins

Like a ghost

With its rattling chains and moths

Heron mill

Bricks and lead

Terraced homes hot pink and red

I would throw it all away and choose

If I could have been born three blocks from you

Oooooh

From you oooooh

And we burn this city to the ground

And we burn this city to the ground

And we burn this city to the ground

To the ground

To the ground
