lyrics

Tony
I was a lonely
Music mad Midlands lad
But listening to northern depression
Made me feel all the more sad

My city envied your city
Overshadowplaying us

My city envied your city
Overshadowplaying us

You and your reds and blues
All the times you won the cup

My city envied your city
Overshadowplaying us

My city envied your city
Overshadowplaying us

My city envied your city
Overshadowplaying us

You said we copied your style
Like we couldn't make our own style up

My city envied your city
Overshadowplaying us

Tony
I was a lonely
Music mad Midlands lad
But listening to northern depression
Made me feel all the more sad

Up there I got called a Southerner
And none of you got my sense of humour
And I was an outsider insider
To all your myths, lies, hypes and rumours

Tony
I was a lonely
Music mad Midlands lad
But listening to northern depression
Made me feel all the more sad

And unsmiling boys in grey trousers and shirts
Found a sound like no-one had ever heard
And the disciples of cool rushed to spread the word
As your city got so hip that it hurt

My city envied your city
Overshadowplaying us

My city envied your city
Overshadowplaying us

History made it seem as if
We missed your Manc magic bus

My city envied your city
Overshadowplaying us

My city envied your city
Overshadowplaying us

My city envied your city
Overshadowplaying us

When you turned into a living museum
You covered us with your dust

My city envied your city
Overshadowplaying us

Tony
I was a lonely
Music mad Midlands lad
But listening to northern depression
Made me feel all the more sad
