Manchester

[Verse 1]

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

Till the walls come tumbling down

You hold my hand, I can tell

Heart beats fast through the streets downtown

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Manchester ruins like a ghost

With its rattling chains and it moans

Heron mill, bricks and lead

Terraced homes hot pink and red

[Chorus]

I would throw it all away and choose

If I could have been born three blocks from you

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

From you ooh ooh

[Outro]

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
