Gloomy Manchester
Always raining
Full of chippy max entertainment

Groovy Madchester
John split the atom
0-1-6-1
England's Seattle

And I know I should have written it down
In southern comfort I've forgotten you somehow

Last night this girl in my bed
I was telling her what I said
When all I had was potential and a head full of dreadful
With a bag full of silly
Walking through Piccadilly
And I... well anyway anyway

When you were asleepDo so much to hurt me
Parts of Manchester
Make me feel dirty
Hacienda
On a gay night
Drop a little phallus
To make me feel right

And I think about you now and then
When I'm talking Touse to my friend

Last night this girl in my bed
I was telling her what I said
When all I had was potential and a head full of dreadful
With a bag full of silly
Walking through Piccadilly
And I... well anyway anyway

We're all made out of placesAnd I've been to a few
What I need now is an aerial view
'Cause I can see for myself
That I can see for myself
But oh... well anyway anyway

How I'd like to go to Manchester
To miles away
Ain't that hard through antics
When I close my eyes
Close my eyes
Close my eyes

Last night this girl in my bed
I was telling her what I said
When all I had was potential and a head full of dreadful
With a bag full of silly
Walking through Piccadilly
And I... well anyway anyway
