ben apps – manchester pudding lyrics
i was born by accident in suffolkating times
my mum and dad had to pretend that everything was fine
turns out messiah’s not my sister
she’s just a very naughty girl
and so we passed on thatcher’s trick
of moving on up in the world
back home to manchester where i say i’m from
only in manchester can i really belong
i took for granted ya when time to move on
i really fancied ya where did i go wrong?
daddy’s buses showed that he was gasoline alley bred
his own great grandfather left in saddleworth for dead
and mother hoped that there was no+one quite like grandmother
she never forgets the blue monday that sp+wned novembrother
turns out i’m not a rock and roll star
and love can really tear you apart
i did my best my law my chorlton
but i won’t be remembered for my art
back home to manchester where i say i’m from
only in manchester can i really belong
i took for granted ya when time to move on
i really fancied ya where did i go wrong?
am i a mancunian and do you really care?
define yourself by so much more than who and why and where
we’re all stellar citizens just falling from the stars
catch the buzz where rolls met royce and drive your burnt out cars
turns out my brother ain’t that heavy
he don’t need no milk today
i drove my chevy to the levy
and god told me that i’d meet you one day
back home to manchester where i say i’m from
only in manchester can i really belong
i took for granted ya when time to move on
i really fancied ya where did i go wrong?
