In Manchester
Colin Newman, Wire
[Verse 1]
One of the men that spawned fibre optic prawns
Barely concealed a grand canyonic yawn
Passed a Nationalist getting buried in Manchester
In Manchester
[Verse 2]
Tricolour flying, the sun shining, large crowd around
A freshly dug grave, priest arm blesses, the flag is waving
Stern Indian serves original flavourings, in Manchester
In Manchester
In Manchester
Ah huh
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
I don't yet know how my story will end
Dead or in prison or completely around the bend
A strong punch was essential, dust heads exploded
[Outro]
In Manchester
In Manchester
In Manchester
In Manchester
Ah huh
[Outro] x2
