All these pages and no mention of Levenshulme's finest... Wayne Fontana.

We used to hang around outside his mum's house, hoping he'd pop round for his dinner or something.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Need someone to write the songs. A collaboration of two, fire away.

 

[Keith Moon]

John Mayall, Graham Gouldman, Rick Fenn, Ian Wallace, beat that.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Need someone to write the songs. A collaboration of two, fire away.

Bernard Sumner and another.

Bernard Sumner and another.

The afternoon was very clear
The sun was beating down on me
I got thirsty for a beer
That I had to go to sea

The sea was very rough
It made me feel sick
But I like that kind of stuff
It beats arithmetic

The afternoon was very clear
The sun was beating down on me
I got thirsty for a beer
That I had to go to sea

The sea was very rough
It made me feel sick
But I like that kind of stuff
It beats arithmetic

Lyrics are just words, without the music.
From a musical viewpoint, there has not been another songwriter or musician from Manchester who has been as consistent, original or ground breaking, as Bernard Sumner.
