"I left the North
I travelled South
I found a tiny house
And I can't help the way I feel"
He left Manchester and went to London
‘Oh yes, you can kick me
And you can punch me
And you can break my face
But you won't change the way I feel
'Cause I love you
Oh ...’
London is tough but he wants to be there
‘And is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so, really so strange ?
I say NO, you say YES
(and you will change your mind)’
Is it really so strange for someone to want to leave a small town and head for London?
‘Why is the last mile the hardest mile ?
My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes
And I realised, I realised
I could never
I could never, never, never, go back home again’
Now he has mixed feelings, excitement and fear, but he does it, he leaves Manchester forever.
