I HEAR...

Manchester,Manchester England Manchester i`ll always love you!

Buildings of grey on a liquid sky turns the day into night The bars are filling with fighting Irish Smug young married couples dressing down for the weekend Pert(?) shop girls and typists tip tapping into blaring dancehalls Hard faced villains dressing up for the drinking clubs while surburbia sits watching television

Bouncers in tuxedos with butterflies round their necks Love tattooed on the right hand and hate on the left Stone Roses just like angels - heaven is this nice Bouncing(?) by the shop girls admired by the sweatshop boys

Always sitting(?) in the snack bar waiting for Jase the ace Hookys by the jukebox doing his splendid to entertain Look at Tony Wilson live on Channel 4 But for(?) Rodney Marsh whos book`s on sale again

I hear a song by Stephen Patrick and a ?? paints the dead Everybody starts shouting "hang the dj!" so we put on 808 State instead (instead) I see your face at the Hacienda (Hacienda) And your life is torn in two I see you hit the ?? with the Happy Mondays And a lonely girl called you A lonely girl called you

Manchester,Manchester England Manchester i`ll always love you!

Manchester,Manchester England Manchester i`ll always love you!

(REPEAT 6 OR SO TIMES TO FADE)

Not sure about some of the words.Anyone else hear differently?
