Manchester (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manchester was a single by the British band The Beautiful South. It reached no. 41 in the UK charts. The song also appeared on their album Superbi.
"Manchester" is a song about the city of Manchester in northwest England, and its apparent notoriety for a rainy climate.
"Manchester" immortalized many towns and settlements in its lyrics:
"From Northenden to Partington it's rain From Altrincham to Chadderton it's rain From Moss Side to Swinton hardly Spain It's a picture postcard of 'wish they never came"
However, The Beautiful South's lyrics technically refer to towns and districts of the much wider Greater Manchester county, rather than the specific city of Manchester.
