Mancunian Way

We used to walk Mancunian Way

We used to swagger, we used to sway

Up until the lights took us away

Do you know what you meant to me?

We used to think we were the bomb

Then someone left a real one

We stayed indoors as the rain come

Back then it made no sense to me

I'm missing your face, your beautiful face

It's funny that I recall

They gave us the keys to the city

But they don't fit anything

But I'm coming anyway

I hear you calling

I came back running

Forgot that feeling

Been so long coming

They tried to stop her

She just got stronger

I'm driving home again

Back down Mancunian Way

I just forgot how it is to feel

To dance and move and keep it real

Been lying down for ten long years

But I was there and it feels like yesterday

I'm missing your face, your beautiful face

It's funny that I recall

You came when I was pretty

But that don't work no more

But I'm coming anyway

I hear you calling

I came back running

Forgot that feeling

Been so long coming

They tried to stop her

She just got stronger

I'm driving home again

Back down Mancunian Way

Now I stand here in front of you

I know now what I'm gonna do

My shoulders low but my head is high

I'm gonna bring this town alive

Through this acidic rain

I'm gonna come back to life again

I hear you calling

I came back running

Forgot that feeling

Been so long coming

They tried to stop her

She just got stronger

I'm driving home again

Back down Mancunian way

I hear you calling

I came back running

Forgot that feeling

Been so long coming

They tried to stop her

She just got stronger

I'm driving home again

Back down Mancunian Way

I hear you calling

I came back running

Forgot that feeling

Been so long coming

They tried to stop her

She just got stronger

I'm driving home again

Back down Mancunian Way
