Manchester Here

from SOLIDARNO​Ś​Ć by The Laytons

/

lyrics

Manchester here – lifespan in a day
The people and skies so cold and so grey
Manchester here is not what it seems,
the pressure so severe it cuts off your dreams

You’re under the lights so watch what you say
It’s such a cold day in Hell when you live for the light of the day

Manchester here – what a place to live
They take all you got, still want you to give
Manchester here will always be home,
wherever you travel, wherever you roam

Blood in the fields, blood on the bricks,
blood in the road, blood on your clothes
You’re under the lights so watch what you say
It’s such a cold day in Hell when you live for the light of the day

Manchester here – when the riots begin,
who will decide how you pay for your sins?

Manchester here – on Earth you’re in Heaven,
not at midnight but half past 11
