She’s Aquabella, soul of Manchester
She’s Aquabella, a ghost, a goddess, a thing unseen
She’s Aquabella, heart of Manchester
She’s Aquabella, a ghost, a spirit a dream
Come on in and have a brew
I’ve got some people to introduce
Florence is an activist
And Ernie’s corporate and rich
And there’s a protest in St Peter’s Square
There’s a protest let me take you there
Oh let me take you there
Oh let me take you there
Human rights
Human rights
Human rights
Florence:
Oh who’s with me? I will not give in
We will be heard, we are going to win.
Ernie:
For this meeting I can’t be late
My stocks all closed down, ten points yesterday
I really, I really can’t be late
Oh why are all these people in my way
Oh why are they all in my way
Florence:
What the hell is wrong with you?
Ernie:
Who do you think you’re talking to?
Florence:
Someone who pushed me and didn’t say sorry
Ernie:
Okay “I am so sorry.”
Florence:
You sarcastic piece of work
Ernie:
Placard hippies are the worst
If I don’t get to this meeting my business falls behind
Florence:
Money isn’t everything you don’t need it to be kind
Ernie:
But it pays for my kid’s school fees
For a better start in life
Florence:
Doesn’t every child deserve the same
Don’t we all deserve the same?
Time to play my part, remind them of this city’s heart.
