The Manor Is...

(album: Full English - 2013)

[Danny Graft:]
Hello my name is Danny Graft and this The Manor
The Manor is all the people at our best and worst
The Manor is laughing at our differences but never letting them determine your worth
The Manor is going out with the mate who's just broken up with the other half and wants to get right on it
The Manor is your first holiday
It's the man down the road who plays the music too loud or the woman who likes a drink on a Tuesday
It's the dog who shits where he likes and breaks out to have sex with the neighbours one next door
The Manor is that long night bus home
It's that pal you ring to make your night better
That thing you only talk about with a couple of mates
Or that feeling you have when you shag on the first date
The manor is staying up late even though you've got work tomorrow but gives a fuck you'll catch it up one day surely
The Manor is getting a job when you ain't had one for a while then blowing your first paycheck on the tiles
The Manor is that thing you didn't want Facebook to remind you of but you laugh 'cause it kind of was one
The Manor is fun
The Manor is winning
The Manor is clinging to a dream
It's when someone tells you look reem
It's the journey up to somewhere you've never been
Or going round the nan's you ain't seen for ages
The Manor is learning everything that don't help your wages
The Manor is raceless and we're off our faces

The Manor is telling all your mates that you beat
It's the latest off license open on the high street
The Manor is waking up and finding out you can go back to sleep
The Manor will probably think I'm mental but they'll get over it
The Manor's forgotten what sober is
The Manor fancies your sister but you know they'd never do a thing
And they might not pick up at first but The Manor always try and ring
The Manor is finding a fiver
It's getting something for free
The Manor is making up
The Manor is you and it's me
The Manor underachieve but always believe that they'll do better
The Manor stay friends for life but change our minds like the weather
They don't judge slappers 'cause The Manor loves Aiya Napa
The Manor get good degrees then decide they wanna go be rappers
The Manor's ain't cool they're sweet being normal
They don't half talk a lot of crap
The Manor went missing
But The Manor's back
The Manor's back
