eventually you vanish up your own backside
but with formidable ease
i seemed to pass that by
i'm stood on my doorstep
the moons full on
the roofs are wet
i shin up a drainpipe
the pennines are in range
i slipped back down
to my life in this town
my god i'll end up breeding whippets
i'm shinning up the drainpipe
the pennines are in range
i consider it memorable
how easy i'll be forgotten
i am a mere mancunian
of no fixed abilities
and i'd turn on a sixpence to be led astray
my only claim to fame
is i can spit with an exquisite aim
and once i stood on the end of a pier
and thought
well eventually you just vanish up your own backside
i shin up the drainpipe
the pennines are in range
i consider it memorable
how easy i'll be forgotten
