Manchester Against Time

(ahhhh) Rain falls on the red-brick lanes

Turing deciphered the code in our veins

And Emmeline stood for the

voting rights

Forged in the dark of those northern nights (we rise up)

We are the worker bees hummin' in time

Building a future out of the grime From the

heavy smoke to the modern skies

Every single time we fall,

we rise (ohhh,

we rise)

In ninety-six the heart was torn

But from the dust,

a new city born

No fear in our eyes,

no walls in our way We walk through the rain to the

golden day (hold on tight) We are the worker bees hummin' in

time

Building a future out of the grime From the

heavy smoke to the modern skies

Every single time we fall,

we rise

(ohhh, we rise)

In the digital glow of tomorrow's dream We are more than just

a cog in the machine (hummmmm)

We are the worker bees hummin' in time

Building a future out of the grime From the

heavy smoke to the modern skies

Every single time we fall,

we rise (ohhh,

we rise)

We keep hummin' on... (hummmm)
