[Chorus: Fast-talking Mancunian male MC, shouted, 2-step snapping] I paid your fare, I'll walk it home Four miles of rain in the dark on my own Keep the seat warm, keep your phone I paid your fare, I'll walk it home [Verse 1: Fast-talking Mancunian male MC, quick and sharp, riding the skip] Three in the morning on Oxford Road Rain coming sideways, I'm frozen to the bone Night bus lights coming round by the bend Card in my hand with one fare left to spend She's at the stop in a coat that's too thin Digging in her pockets for the coins to get in Driver looking at her like she's wasting his night Fifty pence short and she's holding on tight I'm stood there doing sums in my head in the cold One fare, two people, that's the story I'm told Tapped my card on the reader for her, not me She said what about you, I said I walk for free [Chorus: Fast-talking Mancunian male MC, shouted, 2-step snapping] I paid your fare, I'll walk it home Four miles of rain in the dark on my own Keep the seat warm, keep your phone I paid your fare, I'll walk it home [Verse 2: Fast-talking Mancunian male MC, doors close on the drop, the 2-step falls away to bare sub bass, then the drums kick back on his first step] Doors hiss shut and her face at the glass Mouthing out a thank you as the bus goes past She asked me where I live through the gap in the door I said Moss Side, by the chippy, number four Then I'm off down the road with my hood on my head Water in my trainers and my fingers gone red Past the kebab shop and the shut-up bank Past the lads on the corner going is he drunk, mate Nah, I'm not drunk, I'm a gentleman, see Four miles of puddles is the price of a key [Bridge: Fast-talking Mancunian male MC, faster, counting the miles] Mile one, it's pouring, mile two, it's worse Mile three, I'm singing to myself like a church Mile four, I'm a legend, I'm soaked to the skin Turning into my road, it's the last bit in [Verse 3: Fast-talking Mancunian male MC, grinning, loud] Light on the step and a girl on the stair Two portions of chips and the steam in the air Same thin coat with a smile on her face She got off at my stop and she waited in place Said a lad who walks four miles in the rain for a stranger Ought to get his chips and a bit of a danger Salt and vinegar, sat on the wall Best fare I ever paid, I'd pay it all [Chorus: Fast-talking Mancunian male MC, shouted, 2-step snapping] I paid your fare, I'll walk it home Four miles of rain in the dark on my own Keep the seat warm, keep your phone I paid your fare, I'll walk it home [Outro: Fast-talking Mancunian male MC, laughing, the 2-step rings out and fades] Number four Chippy's shut Worth it [End]
