Pretenders To The Throne Lyrics - Beautiful South

Is it Cologne with it's great cathedral? 

Milan with it's glamour and it's pace? 

London with it's river and it's bridges? 

Lisbon with it's beauty and it's grace? 

Funny looking buses 

Climb it's pot-bellied hills 

And a solitary jogger 

Times the time he kills 

Do you know where I'm gonna go? 

None of you have guessed, so none of you can know 

If you've been, that's not where I mean 

It's got class and it's got excellence like you've 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 it's culture and it's wit? 

Madrid with it's market square? 

Paris with it's bustling cafes? 

Hull with it's musical flair? 

Do you know where I'm gonna go? 

None of you have guessed so none of you can know 

If you've been, that's not where I mean 

It's got class and it's got excellence like you've 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
