Cause I come from The North
The swagga, swagga
That you see in my step
You'll also notice
In the way
That I talk
Just like the city
That I'm from
I'm a multicultural
Son of bi-racial love
Italian, Espanola
West Indian from the
Tropical Caribbean shores
I'm from the place
That brought the world
The Hacienda
World domination
We're the super band contenders
Look to the Nineties
If you wanna see history
Oasis in command (Oh, uh)
A happy Monday
Every day in the city
A rainy city
With a diversity
That's gritty
Keeping it real
And I'm Manchester
Born and bred
And proud of who I am
I'm a Mancunian
Everything about my ways
May seem just seem
Just a little peculiar
And all my characteristics
And all my traits
May be all so new to ya
And just because I say it straight
Doesn't mean that
I'm gonna be rude to ya
Cause I come from The North (North)
The football rivalry
Starts from the very
First breath that we take
When we're born
Where the standard is
You either love the Sky Blues
Or you love the Red Devils, of course (Course)
We're such a melting pot
Although it rains a lot
We're such a funny lot
But don't you know
Mancunians are the friendliest of all
We got English, Irish, Polish
Got Jamaicans
German and Italians
Sitting in the neighbourhood
Got Israelis and Palestinians
Living side-by-side
Where they work all night
I come from Britain's (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Most diverse city (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
With a variety (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Nothing short of thrilling (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Keeping it real (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I'm Manchester (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Born and bred (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And proud of who I am
I'm a Mancunian
And everything about my ways
May seem just seem
Just a little peculiar
And all my characteristics
And all my traits
May be all so new to ya
And just because I say it straight
Doesn't mean that
I'm gonna be rude to ya
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Cause I come from The North
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Cause I come from The North
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Cause I come from The North
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah
I'm a Mancunian (Mancunian)
And everything about my ways
May seem just seem
Just a little peculiar (Peculiar)
And all my characteristics
And all my traits (All my traits)
May be all so new to ya
And just because I say it straight
Doesn't mean that
I'm gonna be rude to ya (Be rude to ya)
