Beautiful South – Pretenders To The Throne Lyrics

Read Time:1 Minute, 15 Second

Is it Cologne with its great cathedral?
Milan with its glamour and its pace?
Lisbon with its beauty and its grace?

Funny looking buses
Climb its pot-bellied hills
And a solitary jogger
Times the time he kills

Do you know where Im gonna go?
None of you have guessed, so none of you can know
If youve been, thats not where I mean
Its got class and its got excellence like youve never seen

Your town is dragging me down
Dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Dragging me down, down, down

Is it Dublin with its culture and its wit?
Madrid with its market square?
Paris with its bustling cafes?
Hull with its musical flair?

Do you know where Im gonna go?
None of you have guessed so none of you can know
If youve been, thats not where I mean
Its got class and its got excellence like youve never seen

Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down

As I watch them drop the grain into your fish tank brain
How can you like this place when it never even rains?

Never even rains

Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down

Is dragging me down, down, down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Is dragging me down, down, down
