"Denton Rock" lyrics
They shared a maccies either side of the Pennines
What's the long distance in a 45 minute drive
A young love on the breadline
A quarter of a tank and a bright yellow engine light
And though it's hit or miss
He'll take the risk
Been a week since he's seen her
The fog light in the mist
He's a novelist
In a Ford Cortina
He said "Girl, I should stay the night"
She said "Goodbye, I'm going home"
He said "I want you by my side"
But won't it be great when we're all fully grown
And I won't have to stop
And sit and wait by Denton rock
With those hapless accents that they chose us
I'm holding on to those red and white roses
She found herself with a single blue line
But couldn't seem to tell him in a 45 minute call
And now he's worrying all night
As he buckles up his belt at the wheel but the engine stalls
And though it's hit or miss
He'll take the risk
Full of fear he's not thinking
The rain falls in the mist
He's an optimist
And he's clearly been drinking
He said "Girl, I should stay the night"
She said "Goodbye, I'm going home"
He said "I want you by my side"
But won't it be great when we're all fully grown
And I won't have to stop
And sit and wait by Denton rock
With those hapless accents that they chose us
I'm holding on to those red and white roses
He said we'll always be together
No matter how far it seems
As he drives on down the reservoir
Chasing electric dreams
And she'll carry on through it all
With tears like waterfalls
Now the 0161 can't connect back to 0114
He said "Girl, I should stay the night"
She said "Goodbye, I'm going home"
He said "I want you by my side"
But won't it be great when we're all fully grown
And I won't have to stop
And sit and wait by Denton rock
With those hapless accents that they chose us
I'm holding on to those red and white roses
What's the long distance in a 45 minute drive
A young love on the breadline
A quarter of a tank and a bright yellow engine light
And though it's hit or miss
He'll take the risk
Been a week since he's seen her
The fog light in the mist
He's a novelist
In a Ford Cortina
He said "Girl, I should stay the night"
She said "Goodbye, I'm going home"
He said "I want you by my side"
But won't it be great when we're all fully grown
And I won't have to stop
And sit and wait by Denton rock
With those hapless accents that they chose us
I'm holding on to those red and white roses
She found herself with a single blue line
But couldn't seem to tell him in a 45 minute call
And now he's worrying all night
As he buckles up his belt at the wheel but the engine stalls
And though it's hit or miss
He'll take the risk
Full of fear he's not thinking
The rain falls in the mist
He's an optimist
And he's clearly been drinking
He said "Girl, I should stay the night"
She said "Goodbye, I'm going home"
He said "I want you by my side"
But won't it be great when we're all fully grown
And I won't have to stop
And sit and wait by Denton rock
With those hapless accents that they chose us
I'm holding on to those red and white roses
He said we'll always be together
No matter how far it seems
As he drives on down the reservoir
Chasing electric dreams
And she'll carry on through it all
With tears like waterfalls
Now the 0161 can't connect back to 0114
He said "Girl, I should stay the night"
She said "Goodbye, I'm going home"
He said "I want you by my side"
But won't it be great when we're all fully grown
And I won't have to stop
And sit and wait by Denton rock
With those hapless accents that they chose us
I'm holding on to those red and white roses
