Lyrics

Guitar in hand
River Irwell ahead
And there's no one by my side

Manchester streets
Have no home for me
In bed with an alien smile

Feeling alone
Surrounded by no one
That I know

So many words
but so many ears
All tuned to a different sound

So sit with me now and we’ll talk about
Burning the whole place down

Don't be scared, I don’t want you here
But you can still stick around

So sit with me now and we’ll talk about
Burning the whole place down

Don't be scared, I don’t want you here
But you can still stick around

No drunken doozy
Or a late night susie
Can make me feel
Anything at all

The following day
I went away
But I was never there
At all

How the city speaks
And moves its feet
When the night comes out to play

But my mind's grown old
And I can no longer play
The games of
The youthful days

So sit with me now and we’ll talk about
Burning the whole place down

Don't be scared, I don’t want you here
But you can still stick around

So sit with me now and we’ll talk about
Burning the whole place down

Don't be scared, I don’t want you here
But you can still stick around

Why does it all have to feel
One way then it goes back again

Why does love feel so real
One night and then it changes
And I end up in the same place
I was before

So sit with me now and we’ll talk about
Burning the whole place down

Don't be scared, I don’t want you here
But you can still stick around
