From the open platform of Hyde Central
The modern absence of chimneys
Would have overwhelmed the Victorians
What do people do
Without mills and factories
How do they pay the rent
Afford new hats
Perhaps they all work in Woolworths
Weighing sweets and selling
Just the Top Twenty singles, nothing
Wild or esoteric, nothing
By Motorhead
Did I mention that Lemmy
Lived (briefly) on Hattersley?
He was seeing a girl
I never met her
But I’ve no reason to doubt
The accuracy of the story
Why would you invent it?
