Songs directly referencing Manchester

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

A Guy Called Gerald did two songs called 'The Nile' and 'The Reno' - name checking the two Moss Side clubs in the same building on Princess Parkway

I remember a song I think was called Driving away from home, I think it was in the eighties. I'd love to know who sung it.
Also, Clifton Grange Hotel by Thin Lizzy.

That was 'it's immaterial'

Dirty Old Town- Ewan McColl or Pogues

Was this not sung about Salford?

John Shuttleworth wins every time for me...

YOU’RE LIKE MANCHESTER
You’re like Manchester
You’ve got Strangeways
But you’ve got Styal too
And I miss you while I’m away

You’re as pretty as that city
In autumn too
And you’re like Manchester
‘Cause I love you

You’re like Manchester
You’ve got Strangeways
You are my queen and like a
Certain town
Will always rain!

You’re as pretty as that city
In autumn too
And you’re like Manchester
‘Cause I love you

But if you’re like Manchester
Don’t you Cheetam me
If I Rusholme to find you’ve been in
Whalley’s Range I won’t be pleased

My Belle Vue of the world
Will become a Fallowfield
But I know that I can trust yer
You’re like Manchester…
