Leave Me for a Little While

HM Prison Manchester is a Category A and B men's prison in Manchester, England, operated by His Majesty's Prison Service.

Fly away into the sun if you don't stop feeling sad
The dreams you've always talked about were the best you've ever had
Lie on your back in the grass and tell me what you see
All the people lying there, they all believe they're free

Leave me for a little while
Leave me for a little while

It's Friday night and I'm coming down and I'm standing on my own
I'm feeling sorry for myself and I can't take any more
Leave me for for a little while, take me home and make me smile tonight

Laughing, dancing, spinning round, yeah, lying in the sun
I can't stop coming down but the night has just begun
Turn around and look at me and tell me what you see
All the people around there, they're all laughing at me 

Leave me for a little while
Leave me for a little while
Leave me for a little while
Leave me for a little while

Woo!

Leave me for a little while
Leave me for a little while
Leave me for a little while
Leave me for a little while
