Manchester - The Beautiful South

[00:00.64]Manchester - Beautiful South
[00:13.65]From Northenden to Partington it's rain
[00:19.74]From Altrincham to Chadderton it's rain
[00:26.11]From Moss Side to Swinton hardly Spain
[00:32.36]It's a picture postcard of wish they never came
[00:38.17]And whilst that deckchair
[00:40.09]In the garden it makes no sense
[00:45.04]It doesn't spoil the view or cause offence
[00:51.29]Those Floridas Bavarias and Kents
[00:57.39]Make gentlemen wear shorts
[00:59.76]But don't make gents
[01:03.12]So convertible stay garage-bound
[01:07.13]Save after-sun for later
[01:09.92]If rain makes Britain great
[01:12.66]Then Manchester is greater
[01:16.01]As you dry your clothes once again
[01:19.58]Upon the radiator
[01:22.69]What makes Britain great
[01:25.4]Makes Manchester yet greater
[01:41.33]From Cheetham Hill to
[01:43.22]Wythenshawe it's rain
[01:47.89]Gorton Salford Sale pretty much the same
[01:53.58]As I'm caught up without my jacket once again
[02:00.62]The raindrops on my face
[02:02.51]Play a sweet refrain
[02:06.27]And as winter turns reluctantly to spring
[02:12.89]For the clouds above the
[02:14.54]City there's one last fling
[02:19.34]Swallows build their nests
[02:21.73]Chaffinch sing
[02:25.16]And the sun strolls into
[02:26.92]Town like long lost king
[02:30.94]So convertible stay garage bound
[02:34.87]Save after sun for later
[02:37.68]If rain makes Britain great
[02:40.84]Then Manchester is greater
[02:43.79001]As you dry your clothes once again
[02:47.24]Upon the radiator
[02:50.45999]What makes Britain great
[02:53.27]Makes Manchester yet greater
[02:56.52]And the mood of this whole
[02:58.20999]Sodden place is melancholy
[03:02.6]Like the sun came out to play
[03:04.83]Shone through the clouds
[03:06.64]But dropped its lolly
[03:08.7]And everyone looks so disappointed
[03:12.17]So so sorry
[03:14.88]Like the rain blew into town
[03:17.25]Kidnapped the sun
[03:18.45999]And stole its brolly
[03:26.81]So convertible stay garage bound
[03:30.35]Save after sun for later
[03:33.59]If rain makes Britain great
[03:36.17]Then Manchester is greater
[03:39.41]As you dry your clothes once again
[03:42.9]Upon the radiator
[03:46.1]What makes Britain great
[03:48.56]Makes Manchester yet greater
