4 WIGAN CASINO STOMPERS



Song written by me
......................................

Manchester Scooter boy
...........................................................................

A Manchester mod
Tib Street to Deansgate we ride
Gleaming machine, Italian dream
This city just fills me with pride,
Ruby Lounge, Roadhouse, Waldorf Hotel
No rockin and no place to roll
As the Twisted Wheel still spins
To the faithful, the true northern soul
Im a Manchester mod
My scooters my pride and my joy
Im a true Northern Soul
A Manchester Scooter boy


123, the scene is all here, so ready - steady - go
Were as cool as the Capital - without a marquee or a flamingo
Manchester soul - to the world we did play
And a dance made our own, in our great City - we made it that way
Manchester mods made it that way


A Manchester mod
Tib Street to Deansgate we ride
Gleaming machine, Italian dream
This city just fills me with pride,
Ruby Lounge, Roadhouse, Waldorf Hotel
No rockin and no place to roll
As the Twisted Wheel still spins
To the faithful, the true northern soul
Im a Manchester mod
My scooters my pride and my joy
Im a true Northern Soul
Just a Manchester Scooter boy

My clothes, and my sounds are my way of life
Fred perry, Ben Sherman, Levis and Sta-prest sharp as a knife
fishtail parka and Harrington I wear
make no mistake I wear the right gear
Manchester mods wear all the right gear

A Manchester mod
Tib Street to Deansgate we ride
Gleaming machine, Italian dream
This city just fills me with pride,
Ruby Lounge, Roadhouse, Waldorf Hotel
No rockin and no place to roll
As the Twisted Wheel still spins
To the faithful, the true northern soul
Im a Manchester mod
My scooters my pride and my joy
Im a true Northern Soul
Just a Manchester Scooter boy

Manchester mod - till the day that I die
A mod, a soul boy I live for the high
From Monday to Friday each day a bore
But weekend is different thats when I score
The feeling I get when Im out on a run
And my scooter it shines - it burns like the sun

Im a Manchester mod
Tib Street to Deansgate we ride
Gleaming machine, Italian dream
This city just fills me with pride,
Ruby Lounge, Roadhouse, Waldorf Hotel
No rockin and no place to roll
As the Twisted Wheel still spins
To the faithful, the true northern soul
Im a Manchester mod
My scooters my pride and my joy
Im a true Northern Soul
Just a Manchester Scooter boy
From the smoke and the coal
A Manchester mod
A true northern soul


And nothing comes close when youre out on the floor
Spinning and flipping - dancing all night Im on my way - begging for more
From Salford to Stockport Tameside to Trafford
Wigan, Bolton, Bury and Oldham Too
Northern Soul heaven is here in the North up North like the M62
Va Vas, the Torch, the Wheel, the Cats, the Mojo and Mecca are Famed
But Station Road, Wigan the legendary Casino number one in the world it was named

A Manchester mod
Tib Street to Deansgate we ride
Gleaming machine, Italian dream
This city just fills me with pride,
Ruby Lounge, Roadhouse, Waldorf Hotel
No rockin and no place to roll
As the Twisted Wheel still spins
To the faithful, the true northern soul
Im a Manchester mod
My scooters my pride and my joy
Im a true Northern Soul
Just a Manchester Scooter boy

Manchester mod - till the day that I die
A mod, a soul boy I live for the high
From Monday to Friday each day a bore
But weekend is different thats when I score
The feeling I get when Im out on a run
And my scooter it shines - it burns like the sun

Im a Manchester mod
Tib Street to Deansgate we ride
Gleaming machine, Italian dream
This city just fills me with pride,
Ruby Lounge, Roadhouse, Waldorf Hotel
No rockin and no place to roll
As the Twisted Wheel still spins
To the faithful, the true northern soul
Im a Manchester mod
My scooters my pride and my joy
Im a true Northern Soul
Just a Manchester Scooter boy
From the smoke and the coal
A Manchester mod
A true northern soul

Still brings back amazing memories for me this - f****** brilliant. Oh I wish I wish I wish I could go back in time.!

Can anyone remind me who did this instrumental version of "I'm Coming Home in the Morning". I've got the Lou Pride version (one of my fave tunes) but I jsut love this instr! Anyone know where I can buy it?

cheers

[soultime654321]

Called COMING HOME by Southwind Symphony on Glolite Records GL 92 B and you will probably get it on EBAY or Manships

[Woo5ter]

Those were the days my friend, we thought they would never end!

Last time I tried to dance like I used to do in the 70's I thought I was gonna have a heart attack. The mind is willing but the body I am afraid is way past its best.

[bks458]

Memories of waiting for Black Power to be played floor filled with Stompers melting the soles of there shoes. And who can forget the faithful 3 before 8

[JimmyScizz]

Hey, anyone know the name of the track at 3:58??

[jackiebaron]

I was a hardcore mod back in the day and stuck rigidly to the mod/rudeboy/skinhead beat but these soul boys and girls had some fucking classy moves.

[sammious]

nice vid :)  nice idea to add moloko, gives the old wigan feel, did the same myself, ktf

[SOULSNOB]

@jonkino Time machine please I know where and when I'm going!!!

[britboy25]

This is footage from the Moloko video Familiar Feeling - their homage to northern soul - amazing!

[colinsmith77]

Oh take me back to Wigan Pier, the best all night sessions ever. And no drugs either, just blootered and danced all night. Those were such happy days. I just wish I could back and do a back flip again. Would probably end up in a ward if I tried today llf.

Smudger

[issy3607]

[Skidgate]

anyone able to post a track list for this?
