Three places I used to think I'd rather be.

lyrics

And I’m honestly not sorry,
The truth is that you’re boring,
And us, we’d always rather be dancing than talking.
If you find yourself asking who put this on,
It was probably us,
We never gave much of a shit about your library divisions
We only ever gave a shit about love.

We’ve got the cheque and the plaid
We’ve got the chug and the scratch
It might be stupid and brutal
But it does something youthful and useful to me
Let’s all move to Leeds
We can’t afford Chicago
(We can’t afford Toronto)
So let’s all move to Leeds.

We read that it’s the second best place to go out in Britain
But we know better than that
Between Alex and Lois we’ve got sidedoors for free entry
And safe floors to sleep on in student flats
We spent three nights straight trying to force fast songs into slow jams
And they just wouldn’t take
So now we wait.

And you can tear England from my bones
England never meant a thing to me
But dump my body in the canal
And never say I was unimpressed
I’m leaving my last breath to the west.

Bury my heart in Birmingham
But my dreams will live in Leeds
I found my legs in teenage Leicester
And saw my guts in first year Coventry.
Scattered all across the nation’s railways
Are pieces of the people I used to be
And you can bury my heart in Birmingham
But my dreams will live in Leeds.
