Intro:          

                                
Is it Cologne with it’s great cathedral?
                                        
Milan with it’s glamour and it’s pace?
                                 
London with it’s river and it’s bridges?
                                       
Lisbon with it’s beauty and it’s grace?

              
Funny looking buses
                               
Climb it’s pot-bellied hills
                
And a solitary jogger
                      
Times the time he kills

(continue with same chords)

Do you know where I’m gonna go?
None of you have guessed, so none of you can know
If you’ve been, that’s not where I mean
It’s got class and it’s got excellence like you’ve never seen

Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down

Is it Dublin with it’s culture and it’s wit?
Madrid with it’s marked square?
Paris with it’s bustling cafes?
Hull with it’s musical flair?

Do you know where I’m gonna go?
None of you have guessed, so none of you can know
If you’ve been, that’s not where I mean
It’s got class and it’s got excellence like you’ve never seen

Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down

                                                    
  As I watch them drop the grain into your fish tank brain
                                                 
  How can you like this place when it never even rains?
                 
        Never even rains

(as before)

Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down

Is dragging me down, down, down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Is dragging me down, down, down
