lyrics

Mr Madchester met me at Piccadilly
It was my first time in his sacred city

His northern folk were warm
His northern streets were grim
The unlikely setting
For his post-punk conceptual thing

His happy and blue Mondays
Were still to come
And it was still a long way from FAC 501

Mr Madchester drove me to Granadaland
Was he a TV presenter just dabbling with bands?

He filled my stupid head
Full of his great ideas
And I followed him
To destinations unclear

His happy and blue Mondays
Were still to come
And it was still a long way from FAC 501

All was numbered
Though the plan was there was no plan
All was numbered
Even the life of the man

In his Armani uniform of 80's excess
Each shirt was worth a dozen from BHS

He told me about the club
That he couldn't afford to run
"It has to be built
And when it's built they will come"

His happy and blue Mondays
Turned to drugs and guns
And he got a little closer to FAC 501

All was numbered
Though the plan was there was no plan
All was numbered
Even the life of the man

No room on the 12" mix for the voice of regret
My time was up as the factory pet

He'd got new kids to play with
And I'd had my city fun
So I left him on old broadway
Heading for FAC 501

His bluest ever Monday
It had to come
When he laid it all to rest in FAC 501

All was numbered
Though the plan was there was no plan
All was numbered
Even the life of the man
