INVENTING LEMMY {from Motorhead}


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?
