Pretenders To The Throne

Is it Cologne with it's great cathedral?
Milan with it's glamor 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 killsDo 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 seenYour town is dragging me down
Dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Dragging me down, down, downIs 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 seenYour town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, downAs I watch them drop the grain
Into your fish tank brain
How can you like this place
When it never even rains?
Never even rainsYour town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, downIs dragging me down, down, down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Is dragging me down, down, down
