Maximo Park Middlesbrough Man lyrics

(originally by The Fall)

It's springtime, but I still miss the streets at dawn
And in the morning, walking your bridges home
As I sit in stare, all of England saw us
I'll tell you something, I wish I was in Middlesbrough

I don't mind being by myself
Don't wanna be anywhere else
Just wanna be in Middlesbrough
I wish I was in Middlesbrough

You can leave me on the shelf
I'm a Middlesbrough man myself
I will always give you help

It's summertime, but I still miss your sky so clear
Sitting and staring on a beach somewhere
I'll tell you something, I wish I was in Middlesbrough

Don't give a tuss about private wealth

And history just repeats itself
Keep me away from the festival
And just give me the one quarter jibb

They say project yourself, I'm a Middlesbrough man myself

It's wintertime, and I still see the cobblestones
Clacking over your streets at dawn
I was really poor, since I left Middlesbrough

I'm okay just by myself
Cause our miserable king won't protect us from ourselves
I wish I was in Middlesbrough, I wish I was in Middlesbrough

I was always in good health, I'm a Middlesbrough man myself
I will always give you hell, I'm a Middlesbrough man myself
I'm a Middlesbrough man myself
