Boy from Manchester

There was a boy from Manchester
Who never quite fit in
His curly and light skin
He kinda sounds American

His dad was never home
He was a rolling stone
His friends called him crazy
When he used to say

I don't like football
I don't play cricket
I don't like hip hop
I don't play reggae
Don't like Oasis
Don't play P Diddy
Don't wanna get wasted
Don't want your pity

There was a girl back in high school
Who said he wasn't cool
He would write her some love songs
She'd laugh at him them move on

With braces on his face
Too skinny round the waste
He was never one of the cool kids
Cause he used to say

I don't like football
I don't play cricket
I don't like hip hop
I don't play reggae
Don't like Oasis
Don't play Tom Petty
Don't wanna get wasted
Don't want your pity

I'm just a boy from Manchester
Just trynna' do my best
My curly hair's amazing
My accent is fading

The things you hate
Will become your traits
You'll learn to love the little things
That make you who you are

My friends still they call me
They tell me I'm crazy
But not much has changed since the old days

Still don't like football
Still don't play cricket
Still don't like hip-hop
But I do play reggae
I like Oasis
And I play Tom Petty
Sometimes get wasted
But don't want your pity

Cause we're all laughing now
We're all laughing now
Now we're all winning!
Now we're all winning!

We're all laughing now
We're all laughing now
Now we're all winning!
Now we're all winning!

I'm just a boy from Manchester!
