By the old tram stop in Deansgate, looking out to Salford Quay
There’s my old lass smoking roll ups and I know she thinks of me
And the sky is raining needles and them old St Chad’s bells say
“Come you back you Suffolk soldier, come you back to Manc today”
Come you back to Manc today
Where Franny Lee once played
And you hear them singing Blue Moon right out to Stockport way
It’s the Road to Manc today
Where the flying Fodens play
And Haaland comes like thunder out of Norway far away!

dusth added 20:47 - Aug 22 Not really, "IF" is about the only poem that more than a few people vaguely remember. I was just having fun with this one. And mushrooms? Honestly we only eat the little round ones you buy at Sainsbury's. These days. COYB
