Eric Stewart of 10cc was born in my east Manchester hometown and The Things We Do For Love is solid gold.

Prior to Tony Wilson - and yeah solid gold. Having said that wasn't it a Graham Gouldman song. Mind you he's fuckin Salford

Funnily enough, I just watched '24 hour party people' last night.

There were some really good manc groups in the late 70's and early 80's (Joy Division/New Order, Buzzcocks, The Smiths, James) - just as there were in Liverpool with the likes of The Teardrop Explodes, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Flock of Seagulls, Echo & The Bunnymen.

It all went a bit shit in the early 90's and became all about the dreadful Oasis who really were never as good as people say.

I've done my family back to 1800, not a drop (excepting 2 of my grandads cousins played for City in the early 20s)

I take it you would only listen to It's Immaterial through the instrumental track given the ethnic mix of that band and what's your views on Matt Busby, Roger Hunt, Phil Chisnall, Paul Stewart and James Balagazi?

Not so keen on 'fawn' either, just like would do

So, here's one for you then

Hmm, not sure how I can make my feelings much clearer than I’ve already done BB.

But will give it a go as it’s clearly puzzling you.

Any thread on a Liverpudlian website entitled “Manchester” with the clear objective of eliciting acclaim and admiration for all musical things Mancunian will always receive a unreserved hostile reception from yours truly. Just the way it is mate. Doesn’t matter how good, bad or indifferent the music or the artists concerned happen to be, anything in the context of such a fawning Manc thread can fucking do one as far as I’m concerned.

Now if you’d simply entitled the thread I Am Kloot, then as you already know from what I’ve previously said to you about some of their stuff I’d have been only too pleased to have lavished praise upon them. But in the context of a gushing Manc thread such as the one you have started? Not a fucking chance.

And as for Sir Roger? Well quite apart from our - and very much my own from when I first clapped eyes on him in Liverpool reserves back in ‘59 - obvious huge affection for one of our finest ever servants, your inclusion of someone from Golborne in Wigan/Warrington, a place with its own distinct identity and pretty much equidistant from Liverpool and Manchester, actually aptly epitomises the tendency of Mancunians, and most especially Tony Wilson back in the day, to claim as their own pretty much anything or anyone hailing from anywhere in Lancashire and Cheshire.

Manc overhype anyone?

And as for the others you list? Well to clarify, let me just turn it on it’s head and say that my favourite footballer of all time as evidenced by the threads I’ve instigated on him on this website over the years, without I must stress the merest mention of the mill town down the East Lancs Road, just so happens to be a certain George Best. And so it follows that those unfortunate folks with Manc origins or connections attract no inherent antipathy from me and indeed I often bestow them with fulsome praise, provided of course they are not part of a fawning invocation to the fucking mill town itself.

Some Better Day-I Am Kloot (with John Simm, from Blackpool)

Between the worlds that I don't say,
Beneath your sacred nights and days,
Through the gales of life and laughter,
When you can't you see what you're after,
The evenings and the afternoons
Are measured up in coffee spoons
Between the sunshine and the rain
I thought I'd have something more to say
It's a new life for the neighbors,
With their name in all the papers, don't you know?
Don't you know?
Should we go out for a laugh,
I have a faded photograph,
Of one day in some September
That we had and can't remember
Should your god refute the facts
And science not take up the slack,
You could get your money back
For all you want and all you have
It's a new day for the neighbours,
With their name in all the papers, don't you know?
Don't you know?
It's a new day for the neighbours,
With their name in all the papers, don't you know?
Don't you know?
I'm looking for some better day
I'm looking for some better way
Through the gales of life and laughter,
When you don't know what you're after,
Will drag me to the kitchen sink
My whole day is on the brink,
From here I can still see the moon,
I think I'll move there someday soon.
It's a new day for the neighbours,
With their name in all the papers, don't you know?
Don't you know?
It's a new life for the neighbours,
With their name in all the papers, don't you know?
Don't you know?

If heaven is a place upon your skin, that I might have touched from without to within
Then dust yourself of fingerprints and grin, and grin, and grin
We don't have to stay with these people whose ideas are just what other people say
We can walk away, from these feelings that are filling up our lives with days
And I guess that I've been singing all my life, well that's right, and that is fine
I've been spending all your money and your time, well that's right, and that is fine
'Cause I don't have to stay, with these feelings that are filling up, my life with days
I can walk away, from these people whose ideas, are just what other people say
Again, and again
And the crowd that is gathered is confused, they're all trembling inside in solitude
We've got nothing left to use, we've got all the bullets but there's no one left to shoot
We can't walk away, from these people whose ideas are just what other people say
We may have to stay with these feelings that are filling up our lives with days
But if heaven is a place upon your skin, that I may have touched from without to within
Well then dust yourself of fingerprints and grin, and grin, and grin
I guess that I've been singing all my life, well that's right, and that is fine
I've been spending all your money and your time, well that's right, and that is fine

what's my part in this, what's this dream i can't let go?
what's your way with this, what d'you want to see and who d'you want to know?
you've no direction home, no direction home, no direction
feels like all is lost, there's nowhere left to go
through the seas and sands, across the skies, through the morning snow
is there no direction home? nowhere left to go? no direction home

Thought I saw you and I
In the clouds passing by
When I was a boy
I looked out at the sea
Thought I saw you and me
In the waves on a breeze
And I still do
Still do
Still do
When I was a child
I had that look in my eye
I had a will to despise
Make destruction my life
I still do
Still do

And I still do
I still do

Thought I saw you and me

Deviation from a theme but seems a sensible place to put this gem in. It's an early version of Heaven Knows (also posted), there is a possibility that someone on here knows the lads playing there and where it is, should be around 60 by now.

It's Immaterial-Faith (1990) (an early version of Heaven Knows)

Hold back the night
The streets are filled with laughter
She'll not be after you once again
Come to my house and say we're friends
I can't help but see
Gone are the days
We tripped the light fantastic
Illusion's more drastic
Running wild, where did you go to, my little child
I cannot help but see
Fill up your days
And your pockets with plenty
Soon they'll be empty
Once again, someone has sent me
To you my friend
We just can't keep on running
Hold back the tide
And the waves of reason
Guilty of treason
Once again, stop all the seasons
The sun and the rain
Until you stop believing
Turn on the light
I can't see where I'm running
(?) keeps coming

Three feet tall
With a head like a bowling ball
Can't get up from where you fall
D'you bring this back to me?
What's it for?
Stood in the clothes that you once wore
Stood up from the night before
D'you drink and never leave?
Take my hand across the sand and lead me out to sea
Heaven sent the money we spent, give it back to me
Loneliness
It's got your name and your new address
When it walks in the place is a mess
And it drinks and never leaves
What's it for?
Stood in the clothes that you once wore
Stood up from the night before
Do you dream and never sleep?
Heaven sent the money we spent, give it back to me
Take my hand across the sand and lead me out to sea
Take my hand across the sand and lead me out to sea
Heaven sent the money we spent, give it back to me
Fortune favors
Money takers
Get a sound and see
Sounds demental
Fashion central
Give it back to me
