Manchester

It might look grey coming out the station
But you'll see rainbows everywhere
It's not hard to start a conversation
You can let your colours show
'Cause trust me, no one cares

The tables here are strong enough for dancing
They have ways to sort misunderstandings
They might ask you, "Who is asking?"
But they'll help you out
No one's looking back at anger in this town

Come and stick your rain
Where the sun don't shine
The only thing that's dull here is the sky
Give it half a day and we'll change your mind
It's not pretty in this city, but it's mine
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
It's not pretty in this city, but it's mine

You can leave your air and grace behind you
They do things differently out here
Please don't look for trouble, it'll find you
It's like the wild northwest out here

Come and stick your rain
Where the sun don't shine
The only thing that's dull here is the sky
Give it half a day and we'll change your mind
It's not pretty in this city, but it's mine
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
It's not pretty in this city, but it's mine

It's not pretty in this city, but it's mine

Come and stick your rain
Where the sun don't shine
The only thing that's dull here is the sky
Give it half a day and we'll change your mind
It's a pity you're not with me
Or the dance floors here are sticky
It's not pretty in this city, but it's mine
