Manchester Boy

Bus 57 or 77 to Irlam o'th Height,

Piccadilly, trolley buses,

Memories of delight.

Sunday nights at Cinephone,

Waiting for a train,

Irwell foaming, rising, blowing,

Dancing in the rain.

All changed for the better now,

Maybe yes or no,

But Oh to be a sixties boy

In the Manchester I know.
