Manchester

[Verse 1]
It might look grey coming out the station
But you'll see rainbows everywhere
It's not hard to start a conversation
You could 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 in anger in this town

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
You can leave your air and grace behind you
They do things differently out there
Please don't look for trouble, it'll find you
It's like the wild North West out here

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
(Musical interlude)
It's not pretty in this city but it's mine

[Chorus]
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
All the dancefloors here are sticky
It's not pretty in this city but it's mine
