oh Manchester, so much to answer for

Edward, see those alluring lights?
Tonight will be your very last night
A woman said "I know my son is dead
I'll never rest my hands on his sacred head"

Hindley wakes and Hindley says:
Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes
Hindley wakes and says
Oh Wherever he has gone, I have gone.

But fresh lilaced moorland fields
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death
Fresh lilaced moorland fields
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death

Hindley wakes and says:
Hindley wakes Hindley wakes Hindley wakes and says:
Oh Whatever he has done, I have done.

But this is no easy ride
For a child cries

"Oh, find me, find me, nothing more
We are on a sullen misty moor
We may be dead and we may be gone
But we will be, we will be, we will be,
right by your side

Until the day you die
This is no easy ride
We will haunt you when you laugh
Yes, you could say we're a team
You might sleep
You might sleep
You might sleep
But you will never dream
Oh, you might sleep
But you will never dream
You might sleep
But you will never dream"

Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Oh, find me, find me
Find me
I'll haunt you when you laugh
Oh, I'll haunt you when you laugh
You might sleep
But you will never dream
Oh
Over the moors, I'm on the moor
Oh, over the moor
The child is on the moor
