The Canal Pusher
[Verse] Cold mist creeps the night smells like sin Whispers of danger where the water's been Footsteps echo along cobbled street Shadows dance where light and dark meet [Verse 2] They say there's a ghost man with a shove Hunters of fear lust for the glove Push you right where the water's deep Silent ghoul steals your final sleep [Chorus] No one's safe by the canal's edge Nervous whispers on that dark ledge Manchester's streets will swallow you whole Canal Pusher stalking taking his toll [Bridge] Stories mix with the wine and the ale Legends spun with a face so pale Haunted eyes stare out of gloom The pusher's grip keeps you in the tomb [Verse 3] Fear grips tight when the fog rolls in Silent water the devil's dark gin Beware the night streets can't unfold Canal Pusher's tales leave blood cold [Chorus] No one's safe by the canal's edge Nervous whispers on that dark ledge Manchester's streets will swallow you whole Canal Pusher stalking taking his toll (chorus) (Spoken) Don't go walking the tow-path at night, for you might not see the light of day for the Canal Pusher is lurking..... (Guitar Solo)
