Knutsford City Limits Lyrics
Robbie Williams
You said I was northern scum
I was wounded baby
That's fighting talk where I'm from
And I'm not moving baby
Spent my life dancing with shadows in strobe lights
It's alright, everything mellows in sunlight
And now London's got its gimmicks
And New York's had its minute
But Knutsford City limits
I'll never change
I've been running nearly all my life
It left me broken baby
When the meter ran out on life
I used my tokens lady
Spent my life dancing with shadows in strobe lights
Now it's alright, everything mellows in sunlight
And now London's got its gimmicks
And New York's had its minute
But Knutsford City limits
I'll never change
London's got its gimmicks
And New York's had its minute
But Knutsford City limits
I'll never change
I've been running nearly all my life
It left me broken baby
When the meter ran out on life
I used my tokens lady
You said I was Northern scum
I was wounded baby
That's fighting talk where I'm from
And I'm not moving baby
London's got its gimmicks
And New York's had its minute
But Knutsford City limits
I'll never change
Saw one transmission
On the television
Saying I can't do my job
Well I just kept dancing
Don't hate me 'cause I'm handsome
And the beat will never stop
Saw one transmission
On the television
Saying I can't do my job
Well I just keep dancing
Don't hate me 'cause I'm handsome
And the beat will never stop
[Repeat...]
I was wounded baby
That's fighting talk where I'm from
And I'm not moving baby
Spent my life dancing with shadows in strobe lights
It's alright, everything mellows in sunlight
And now London's got its gimmicks
And New York's had its minute
But Knutsford City limits
I'll never change
I've been running nearly all my life
It left me broken baby
When the meter ran out on life
I used my tokens lady
Spent my life dancing with shadows in strobe lights
Now it's alright, everything mellows in sunlight
And now London's got its gimmicks
And New York's had its minute
But Knutsford City limits
I'll never change
London's got its gimmicks
And New York's had its minute
But Knutsford City limits
I'll never change
I've been running nearly all my life
It left me broken baby
When the meter ran out on life
I used my tokens lady
You said I was Northern scum
I was wounded baby
That's fighting talk where I'm from
And I'm not moving baby
London's got its gimmicks
And New York's had its minute
But Knutsford City limits
I'll never change
Saw one transmission
On the television
Saying I can't do my job
Well I just kept dancing
Don't hate me 'cause I'm handsome
And the beat will never stop
Saw one transmission
On the television
Saying I can't do my job
Well I just keep dancing
Don't hate me 'cause I'm handsome
And the beat will never stop
[Repeat...]
