BC: Alright! Now that we’re warmed up.... Everybody alright? This is Manchester, right? Goes like that, right? Madchester. This is a song I wrote when I was a young boy. Some of you right, uh--some of you might remember me when I was young, I was hopeful. I had dreams. I gave a fuck. I believed in rock and roll, uh...what else? What else did I know when I was a young man? Heh heh. Oh yeah, I believed in drug. That’s what this guy said down here, “I believe in drug.” Now I just believe in you, my man. I believe in you.

I wanna go back to Kansas, forever forever. I wanna see Auntie Em, forever. Where’s Toto? Forever forever forever forever. I wanna dream that’s so beautiful. Forever forever forever forever forever forever forever forever forever ever ever.)
