about
It's about Manchester before its facelift
lyrics
Tell me Johnny what’s wrong with this town
As we hit the lights and the cold, wet weather tell me what makes you proud
Johnny says as a quick reply as he ties a final lace
“I make my pride out of nothing and I wear it on my face”
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make someone happy
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make it buzz
The good old days of clogs and lace lie broken and uncovered
And we use the mill as shelter waiting talking to each other
It may seem like a broken dream but are you looking out
Cos’ the light still glows in a northern face and I don’t need to shout
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make someone happy
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make it buzz
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make someone happy
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make it buzz
hit the night and make it buzz
I love this place, backed up with northern face
From the docks to the hills, I will leave this place
I will leave this place in my will, will
Two young lads from a town up north walk through the waking hours
And the dawn cuts sharp on the hills behind the spread of chimney towers
Look at me is the face you see a picture of this place
Cos’ I make my pride out of nothing and I wear it on my face
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make someone happy
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make it buzz
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make someone happy
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make it buzz
hit the night and make it buzz
I love this place, backed up with northern face
From the docks to the hills, I will leave this place
I will leave this place in my will, will
As we hit the lights and the cold, wet weather tell me what makes you proud
Johnny says as a quick reply as he ties a final lace
“I make my pride out of nothing and I wear it on my face”
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make someone happy
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make it buzz
The good old days of clogs and lace lie broken and uncovered
And we use the mill as shelter waiting talking to each other
It may seem like a broken dream but are you looking out
Cos’ the light still glows in a northern face and I don’t need to shout
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make someone happy
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make it buzz
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make someone happy
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make it buzz
hit the night and make it buzz
I love this place, backed up with northern face
From the docks to the hills, I will leave this place
I will leave this place in my will, will
Two young lads from a town up north walk through the waking hours
And the dawn cuts sharp on the hills behind the spread of chimney towers
Look at me is the face you see a picture of this place
Cos’ I make my pride out of nothing and I wear it on my face
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make someone happy
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make it buzz
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make someone happy
Are you right now, lets hit the night and make it buzz
hit the night and make it buzz
I love this place, backed up with northern face
From the docks to the hills, I will leave this place
I will leave this place in my will, will
