Okay. Not quite finished, very rough around the edges. Still one last verse to write, but too tired to finish tonight:P

Manchester Dreaming

Had a strange dream last night.
Me and this cat from Manchester,
We got into a big gang fight,
Then next thing I knew
We’re off to see the Queen

Playing in the grounds of the palace,
Cat says look there’s Alice,

And sure enough there she was,

Chasing white rabbit
Through the gorse.

Queeny pops her head out,
Says hey guys wanna drink?
I turned to the cat and said
Cat what do y’think?
Cat didn’t hear me
He was wrestling with a kite,
I said sure thing your Maj,
I could go for a pepsi lite.

As the clouds rolled over
I said duck and cover!
And we all dived into the trench.
Queeny followed suit and
Brought the cavalry to boot
And then the rain came and
We got drenched.

It’s all in a days work
She said and sparked
A cigarette.

And that’s when the lightening
Struck

And me and the Cat and Queeny
All on a rocking horse
Galloping over the hills
And onto the race course.

We was winnin’ by a country mile.

Til Queeny jumped off and
Gave a famous smile,
Said you guys
Go on alone

I’ll catch you by the river’s
Edge.

And that’s the last we saw of her
We was cantering through the golden mile

Headin into Leicester.

Cat said he knew a curry house there
And we could eat for free.
And off we went,
just the cat and me.
Left the rockinghorse grazing
At the edge of the city.

All in days work
He said as he chewed
On a blade of grass.
