HAC 51
If I'd been in
Manchester before 1994
instead of being in
Sydney being poor
I'd be dancing
in the Hacienda
with sounds coming
from a fender
rubbing shoulders
with Bernard Sumner
Happy Mondays
and New Order
hailing to the DJ
dancing till dawn
taking drugs
and more
forgetting my woes
fading to the sounds
dancing away
to Hac 51 pro-founds
But! It's now a
block of flats
the Hacienda, once
the icon with new wave cats
Oh how I wish I went to the Hacienda...
Manchester before 1994
instead of being in
Sydney being poor
I'd be dancing
in the Hacienda
with sounds coming
from a fender
rubbing shoulders
with Bernard Sumner
Happy Mondays
and New Order
hailing to the DJ
dancing till dawn
taking drugs
and more
forgetting my woes
fading to the sounds
dancing away
to Hac 51 pro-founds
But! It's now a
block of flats
the Hacienda, once
the icon with new wave cats
Oh how I wish I went to the Hacienda...
