Manchester

It might look grey coming out the station
But you'll see rainbows everywhere
It's not hard to start a conversation
You could let your colours show 'cause, trust me, no one cares
The tables here are strong enough for dancin'
And they have ways to sort misunderstanding's
They might ask ya, "who is askin'?" But they'll help you out
No one's lookin' back in anger in this town

Come and stick your rain where the sun don't shine
The only thing that's dull here is the sky
Give it half a day and we'll change your mind
It's not pretty in this city but it's mine
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
It's not pretty in this city but it's mine

You can leave your air and grace behind you
They do things differently out here
But please don't look for trouble, it'll find you
It's like the wild North West out here

Come and stick your rain where the sun don't shine
The only thing that's dull here is the sky
Give it half a day and we'll change your mind
It's not pretty in this city but it's mine
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
It's not pretty in this city but it's mine

It's not pretty this city but it's mine

Come and stick your rain where the sun don't shine
The only thing that's dull here is the sky
Give it half a day and we'll change your mind
It's a pity you're not with me
All the dance floors here are sticky
It's not pretty in this city but it's mine
