Knutsford City Limits
Knutsford Chronicles: Embracing Northern Resilience
Lyrics
You said I was northern scum
You were told that I am a person from the northern region.
I was wounded baby
I felt hurt, emotionally affected.
That's fighting talk where I'm from
In my hometown, such a statement is considered provocative and can lead to conflict.
And I'm not moving baby
Despite the criticism, I am not willing to change or leave.
Spent my life dancing with shadows in strobe lights
I've spent my life in the nightlife, surrounded by fleeting moments of joy and excitement.
It's alright, everything mellows in sunlight
Things become better and more peaceful in the daylight.
And now London's got its gimmicks
Referring to London's trendy features.
And New York's had its minute
New York has had its time of glory and attention.
But Knutsford City limits
Knutsford City limits symbolize a place where I belong and won't abandon.
I'll never change
I am determined not to change despite external influences.
London's got its gimmicks
Reiteration of the impact of London and New York.
And New York's had its minute
Reiterating the transient nature of fame and attention in these places.
But Knutsford City limits
Knutsford City limits remain my constant, and I won't change.
I'll never change
Emphasizing the resolve to stay true to oneself.
I've been runny nearly all my life
I've been running away from problems most of my life.
It left me broken baby
This constant running has left me emotionally shattered.
When the meter ran out on life
When life's opportunities ran out, I used what resources I had left.
I used my tokens lady
Despite the criticism, I persisted.
You said I was Northern scum
Reiteration of the earlier insult about being Northern.
I was wounded baby
The insult affected me emotionally.
That's fighting talk where I'm from
Such statements are considered confrontational where I come from.
And I'm not moving baby
Despite the criticism, I won't be swayed.
London's got its gimmicks
London's features are reiterated, possibly suggesting their superficial nature.
And New York's had its minute
New York's moment of fame is acknowledged but fleeting.
But Knutsford City limits
Knutsford City limits are where I belong and won't change.
I'll never change
Commitment to remain unchanged in the face of external influences.
Saw one transmission
Reference to a negative broadcast about me.
On the television
Seeing a portrayal of my life on television.
Saying I can't do my job
Despite criticism, I continued pursuing my passion.
Well I just kept dancing
Resilience in the face of challenges.
Don't hate me 'cause I'm handsome
Addressing envy and highlighting personal confidence.
And the beat will never stop
The rhythm and joy in life persist despite negativity.
Saw one transmission
Reiteration of encountering negative portrayal on television.
On the television
Enduring criticism and continuing with my passion.
Saying I can't do my job
Reaffirmation of resilience despite challenges.
Well I just kept dancing
Confidence despite criticism, and commitment to dancing through life.
Don't hate me 'cause I'm handsome
Addressing envy and embracing personal confidence.
And the beat will never stop
Expressing that the rhythm and joy in life will endure.
