It doesn't take a lot for Dirty Old Town but for those interested I am listening to Rod Stewart and the Faces.

One of the things I like about Manchester, is I can put on the yellow coat and straight through the bouncers and dance.

************************************

On string
We tied a knot one day
In dark rain
To pledge our love
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

We danced
Wearing our silly knot
After factory
To be
Dirty old Town
Dirty old Town

On blackened walls
I leaned
Mother talked
Dirty old Town
Dirty old Town

We took ideas for ourselves
Ideas for no-one
But else
Dirty old Town
Dirty old Town

To dance a thought
In ideas
Of our minds
Dirty old Town
Dirty old Town

Saw an image
Knowing
I would hold
Dirty old Town
Dirty old Town

Told me of future
Driven
Out
Dirty old Town
Dirty old Town

Left
But not part of
This
Dirty old Town
Dirty old Town

feels like home to me...

in the end it's not just you with your memories and your scars, fall on me if you ever forget how beautiful you are.
