To think that the new economy is over is like somebody in London in 1830 saying the entire industrial revolution is over because some textile manufacturers in Manchester went broke.

We can talk about Manchester! I like coming here, it's a wicked city. It's my second favourite city in England after London. I like Liverpool too but there's a lot more to do in Manchester.

You know Manchester is always a bit of a hard place for people coming from London, just with all the history. Manchester has this immensely huge and healthy history musically.

Manchester above everything
Football tops red, little blue
Architecture old and new
under a sky of grey you will find
A city's people intertwined
A simple nod and an alright mate
students partying out till late
see London's great according to you
but the same can be said for Manchester too.
Your jibes about our city don't sting
because I put Manchester above everything

Manchester has it's own pride and London has it's sort of pride and sometimes we can be a bit mean to each other, but I think if we dig the music we can get on really well.

Earth Begs to Differ
the world is hotting up
to a major catastrophe
three hundred years of
deception that quality
of life has improved
industrial revolution
science revolution
mental revolution
while the earth at our
feet begs to differ
improved yes but for
how long? it screams back
choking in fumes, floods
and cancerous agony
it is surrendering
itsefl to our indifference
even the ice at the arctic
is breaking out of its
million years of quiet
to give its warning,
that when it can
no longer hold the world
together its tears
woulod inundate whole city
the amazon forest also
sings its blues, as its
green slowly stills to yellow
and brown to feed the air that
would turn its back to become
man's scariest foe
