How can they say you're a bad guy When your eyes well up at the softest of sounds? The man with peppery hair and walks his dog through the Manchester clouds. You're candid about your struggles, there's no shame in being a luminary, a friend And these social issues, injustices are not your fight but you'll see it through till the very end. We've seen you through the ages - flowered shirts to suits and ties, the same one washed daily You're a normal bloke though it's safe to say you're not doing too well lately. Just take into account that if you purge the atypical parts of yourself, you'll be unhappy either way And if it was up to me, you'd embrace every tint of grey around that dewy eyed face. How can they say you're a bad guy When your eyes well up at the softest of sounds? The man with peppery hair and walks his dog through the Manchester clouds.
