[Verse 1]
You said I was Nothern scum
I was wounded baby
That's fighting talk where I'm from
And I'm not moving baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Spent my life
Dancing with shadows in strobe lights
It's alright
Everything mellows in sunlight

[Chorus]
And now London's got its gimmicks
And New York's had its minute
But Knutsford City Limits
I'll never change

[Verse 2]
I've been running nearly all my life
It left me broken baby
When the meter ran out on life
I used my tokens. baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Spent my life
Dancing with shadows in strobe lights
It's alright
Everything mellows in sunlight

[Chorus]
And now London's got its gimmicks
And New York's had its minute
But Knutsford City Limits
I'll never change

[Chorus]
London's got its gimmicks
And New York's had its minute
But Knutsford City Limits
I'll never change

[Bridge]
I've been running nearly all my life
It left me broken baby
When the meter went out on life
I used my tokens, lady
You said I was Nothern scum
I was wounded, baby
That's fighting talk where I'm from
And I'm not moving baby

[Chorus]
London's got its gimmicks
And New York's had its minute
But Knutsford City Limits
I'll never change

[Verse 3]
Saw one transmission
On the television
Saying I can't do my job
Well, I just kept dancing
Don't hate me 'cause I'm handsome
And the beat will never stop
Saw one transmission
On the television
Saying I can't do my job
Well, I just kept dancing
Don't hate me 'cause I'm handsome
And the beat will never stop
Saw one transmission
On the television
Saying I can't do my job
Well, I just kept dancing
Don't hate me 'cause I'm handsome
And the beat will never stop
Saw one transmission
On the television
Saying I can't do my job
Well, I just kept dancing
Don't hate me 'cause I'm handsome
And the beat will never stop
