Homelessness and poverty, poverty, poverty
Homelessness and poverty,

Manchester Rambler
I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler
from Manchester way
I get all my pleasure
the hard moorland way
I may be a wage slave on Monday
But I am a free man on Sunday

Power in the Union
The Union forever
defending our rights
Stand with the picket,
all workers unite
With our brothers and our sisters
from many far off lands
There is power in a Union

No we're not gonna give it back
We're not gonna give it back
We're not gonna give it back, no fear
