Manic Street Preachers - Elvis Impersonator Blackpool Pier lyrics

20ft. high on Blackpool promenade

Fake royalty second hand sequin facade

Limited face paint and dyed black quiff

Overweight and out of date

20ft. high on Blackpool promenade

Fake royalty second hand sequin facade

Limited face paint and dyed black quiff

Overweight and out of date

Oh well

American trilogy in Lancashire Pottery

American trilogy in Lancashire Pottery

Is so fucking funny, don't you know

Is so fucking funny, don't you know

All American trilogy in used up cars and bottled beer

All American trilogy the futures dead, fundamentally

It's so fucking funny, it's absurd

It's so fucking funny, it's absurd

20ft. high on Blackpool promenade.

I wish I was in Dixie

Hooray! Hooray!

In Dixie Land, I'll take my stand

To live and die in Dixie

<i>[Excerpt taken from the song 'Dixie' by Daniel D. Emmett (1859)]</i>
