Timperley Sunset Lyrics

Dirty old canal
Always keeps flowing
Through Timperley to Manchester
Whenever I travel
I go by train to get me there
'Cos I don't have a barge, or a boat or a car

But as long as I gaze on a Timperley sunset
I am in paradise
Everyday I look out of my bedroom window
I see me shed's on the washing line
Timperley's sunset's fine

Little Frank meets [?]
Timperley Station every afternoon
They're made of cardboard but they're so much in love
They'rе going to marry soon
But they don't have a marriage licеnse

But as long as they gaze on a Timperley sunset
They are in paradise

Every night I look out of my bedroom window
I see the station and the railway line
Timperley's sunset's fine
Timperley's sunset's fine
Here's Emma and Roger they are on a train at Timperley's station
The rest of us stay on continue to roll to [?] navigation

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
