Pretenders To The Throne |
| Is it Cologne with it’s great cathedral? |
| Milan with it’s glamour and it’s pace? |
| London with it’s river and it’s bridges? |
| Lisbon with it’s beauty and it’s grace? |
| Funny looking buses |
| Climb it’s pot-bellied hills |
| And a solitary jogger |
| Times the time he kills |
| Do you know where I’m gonna go? |
| None of you have guessed, so none of you can know |
| If you’ve been, that’s not where I mean |
| It’s got class and it’s got excellence like you’ve never seen |
| Your town is dragging me down |
| Dragging me down, down, down |
| Your town is dragging me down |
| Dragging me down, down, down |
| Is it Dublin with it’s culture and it’s wit? |
| Madrid with it’s market square? |
| Paris with it’s bustling cafes? |
| Hull with it’s musical flair? |
| Do you know where I’m gonna go? |
| None of you have guessed so none of you can know |
| If you’ve been, that’s not where I mean |
| It’s got class and it’s got excellence like you’ve never seen |
| Your town is dragging me down |
| Is dragging me down, down, down |
| Your town is dragging me down |
| Is dragging me down, down, down |
| As I watch them drop the grain into your fish tank brain |
| How can you like this place when it never even rains? |
| Never even rains |
| Your town is dragging me down |
| Is dragging me down, down, down |
| Your town is dragging me down |
| Is dragging me down, down, down |
| Is dragging me down, down, down |
| Is dragging me down, down, down |
| Is dragging me down, down, down |
