Reddish is an area of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, in Greater Manchester, England. It is 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Stockport and 4.6 miles (7.4 km) southeast of Manchester. The population is 30,055 in an area of 7.08 square kilometres (2.73 mi²).
Historically a part of Lancashire, Reddish grew and developed rapidly during the Industrial Revolution and still retains landmarks from that period, such as Houldsworth Mill, a former textile mill.
Reddish Vale is a country park close to the locality.
Reddish is recorded as Redich (1205, 1212), Redych, Radich (1226), Radish, Rediche (1262), Redditch (1381), Redwyche, Radishe and Reddishe (16th century). The name either means "reedy ditch" (OE hrēod-dīc) or "red ditch" (OE rēad-dīc). Ekwall (1922) allows either form, stating "red" is less probable; Mills (1991) and Arrowsmith (1997) only give the "reed" option. The ditch referred to is possibly the Nico Ditch, an earthwork of uncertain origin bordering Reddish, Manchester and Denton. Folklore has it that the names Gorton and Reddish arose from a battle between Saxons and Danes. John Higson wrote in 1852
I was robbing a store
I fell in love with a whore
We fell onto the floor
In the store I was robbing
So I put that gun to her head
She said, "Baby, let's go to bed
Son, you're gonna go blind
If you keep fucking me with your mind"
Today's bargain

The store clerk, she wanted in
She said "Hey I am your friend"
I said, "No, no, it's gonna depend
If you give me all your money"
So I put that gun to her head
She said, "Baby, let's go to bed
Son, you're gonna go blind
If you keep fucking me with your mind"
Today's bargain

She said, "Son, don't look at the sun"
She said, "Son, don't look at the sun
You might go blind"
So I put that gun to her head
She said, "Baby, let's go to bed
Son, you're gonna go blind
If you keep fucking me with your mind"

Incarnation of the poltergeist in my head
evaluation of the open mind, inside of your head.
Can you fly and wonder why you can't touch the ground?
Can you cry and wonder why you can't make a sound?
Cause I promise myself, that I won't lie anymore.
Cause I did it to myself, but what did I do it for?
And now I'm burning out, somehow
I'm burning out, I can't come down
and now I'm burning out, somehow.
Hesitation of the state I'm in, it was my friend.
Hey, up at the station watching your life end is, not pretend.
Can you fly and wonder why you can't touch the ground?
Can you cry and wonder why you can't make a sound?
Cause I promise myself, that I won't lie anymore.
Cause I did it to myself, but what did I do it for?
And now. I'm burning out, somehow
and now... I'm burning out, I can't come down
and now... I'm burning out, somehow...
I wanna be sugar free
I wanna be sugar free
I wanna be sugar free
I wanna be sugar free
I wanna be sugar free
And I don't care if you despise me
I wanna see some energy
That you never ever gave to me
I know what I need
I know what I'm gonna do
I know that I'm gonna need
You very soon
I wanna be sugar free
And I don't care if you despise me, no
I wanna be swimming in the sea
But you keep on trying to drown me
I know what I need, I know what I'm gonna do
I know that I'm gonna need you very soon
Ever since yesterday I sensed a break away
There is no sense for my stay
And take just one step on earth
And you'll see all the mirth that has gotten to me
Hey, I pretend to be strong when we don't get along
But why are you my enemy? Enemy?
I wanna be sugar free
I wanna be sugar free
I wanna be sugar free
You say you know it's gonna be better when we're dead.
I believe you, cause sometimes, I wanna be dead too.
The trees seem greener, and I seem meaner when you're happy,
that's because I'm unhappy..
When will I see you again?
When will I touch you again?
I love my guitar, and she loves me.
I love my guitar, and she won't break up with me.
I love my guitar, and she loves me.
I love my guitar.
I sense tenseness, and out of strangeness
I will stay if you remember the Alamo.
Bless this silence, I haven't heard from you in days.
You say you'll call, and I fall into you.
When will I see you again?
When will I touch you again?
I love my guitar, and she loves me.
I love my guitar, and she won't break up with me.
I love my guitar, and she loves me.
I love my guitar.
When will I see you again?
When will I touch you again?
I love my guitar, and she loves me.
I love my guitar, cause she won't break up.
I love my guitar, and she loves me.
I love my guitar!
School's not working today.
Failing in every way.
My girlfriend's not here with me,
the principal just sent me to the office today,
and now I'm gonna run away.
I'll run and hide, but that never works.
And I can't decide what is worse: failing or leaving?
Failing or leaving.
Leaving...
Failing or leaving?
Failing or leaving.
Leaving, leaving, leaving.
Failing and leaving.
School's not working today.
My math teacher is gay.
And in the oven a turkey pot pie,
and now I will say goodbye to my house today.
Oh man I'm going to run away.
I'll run and hide, but that never works.
And I can't decide what is worse: failing or leaving?
Failing or leaving.

I think it's past our bedtime... let's go to sleep now, yeah.

I don't understand the question.
I don't understand the question.
We crush a flower in heaven, violet envy.
We'll waste an hour in heaven, and go to sleep.
My inside is out, and you're winning.
Her children will not know beginning.
I don't understand the question.
I don't understand the question.
She lives in Ether
Flies to me at night time
Makes everything better
She's got everything together
She's mine
She stares in holy trance
And she really likes to fly
Gives me angelical glance
Then we start to dance
Purple sky
She is the angel that one day will save me
Apparition of purity
She stares in holy trance
And she really likes to fly
Gives me angelical glance
Then we start to dance
The purple sky
She is the angel that one day will save me
Apparition of purity
I miss her so
I will never, ever let go
I will never, ever let go
Apparition of purity, purity, purity, purity
I'm in Dreamsville, holding you
A dreamy view, just we two alone
If love in Dreamsville, time is new
We're here to love and we do
We can see the rest of the world
Below us from our pink cloud
There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville
Far away and here we love
Here we stay
There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville
Far away and here we love
I like to play D and D
and watch the Spanish channel on TV
be a nobody...like me.
Enroll yourself in B.S.A.
and build a plastic model airplane
be a nobody...with me.
With you and me,
claustraphobic energy, astronomical intimacy.
That's the you in me.
I sit around and worry about my girl
when I know she's gonna be just fine
be a nobody...like me.
With you and me,
claustraphobic energy, astronomical intimacy.
That's the you in me.
You can make no money, honey,
if you sit at home and read that Oscar Wilde
so I'm gonna grow up and in my way,
I'm gonna stop acting so much like a child.
With you and me,
claustrophobic energy, astronomical intimacy.
You and me,
claustrophobic energy, astronomical intimacy.
You and me,
claustrophobic energy...astronomical intimacy.
That's the you in me.
That's the you in me.
Butterfly sparing, I'll let you fly away
The dust that will be another oak tree
Breathing an oak tree
Still I wait for the world to turn around
Still I wait for the dancers
Still I wait for the world to turn around
I gotta wait for the answers to come around
Children playing aloft a boat of secrets
Public never knew the fate of the picture
The purple pictures
Still I wait for the world to turn around
Still I wait for the dancers
Still I wait for the world to turn around
Still I wait for the answers
Still I wait, I gotta wait
Still I wait for the world to turn around
Still I wait for the dancers
Still I wait for the world to turn around
I gotta wait for the answers to come around
Still I wait for the world to turn around
Still I wait for the answers
Still I wait for the world to turn around
You oughtta know the clothes hang on the wire,
and you oughtta know your body sets my soul on fire.
But I'm still the same,
I just want to fly, fly.
You still play your game,
and watch my hope die, cause it's dying, yeah.
Take my simplicity.
Take your sincerity.
Take my simplicity away from me.
You oughtta see your antics don't work anymore,
and you oughtta be more concious towards what you look for.
But I'm still the same, I just want to fly, fly.
You still play your game,
and watch my hope die, cause it's dying, yeah.
Take my simplicity.
Take your sincerity.
Take my simplicity away from me.
Take my simplicity.
Take your sincerity.
Barefoot in the sand,
wishing God would lend a hand.
Wave after wave comes crashing down,
washing away a little more ground.
Seems to me that's how all things are.
Giving and taking little pink stars.
I want the world to know that you're mine,
I want to touch you.
I want the world to know that you're mine,
I want to feel you from the inside.
I want the world to know that you're mine,
I want to touch you.
I want the world to know that you're mine,
I want to touch you.
Walking along with the ocean at my heels,
loving the way the water feels.
Up in the sky something catches my eye,
as bright as a star in the northern sky.
Seems to me that's how all things are,
giving and taking little pink stars.
I want the world to know that you're mine,
I want to touch you.
I want the world to know that you're mine,
I want to feel you from the inside.
I want the world to know that you're mine,
I want to touch you.
I want the world to know that you're mine,
I want to touch you.
Seems to me that's how all things are.
Giving and taking little pink stars.
I want the world to know that you're mine,
I want to touch you.
I want the world to know that you're mine,
I want to feel you from the inside.
I want the world to know that you're mine,
I want to touch you.
I want the world to know that you're mine,
I want to touch you.

She's lies wrapped in a box
In a barrel, super-sized, no surprise
I can't hold it against her
I sense her super-size
And I know what you're gonna say
About me

You hate me
You'll always get shot down
If you're all for everything go insane
Birdie in New Orleans

Pleas, cries, painful despair
Don't you realize?
Don't you even want to care?
Come on now
Strung out at Bailey's Hotel, 309

[Chorus]
She goes above and beyond her call of duty
She is a slut but her ex thinks it's sexy
Sex reminds her of eating spaghetti
I'm running as fast as I can
I'm running as fast as I can
If you wanna move it so, why don't you make it go
prove to everybody who doesn't understand
All the nights, all the fights, you are out of sight
Some say more with their hands
I'm running as fast as I can
She goes above and beyond her call of duty
She is a slut but X thinks it's sexy
Sex reminds her of eating spaghetti
I am running as fast as I can
I am running as fast as I ROCK!
Why am I dealing with this feeling
I'm maxed out like a credit card
I'll continue to be, my worst enemy
It's easy but it seems so hard
You're near but you seem so FAR
She goes above and beyond her call of duty
She is a slut but X thinks it's sexy
Sex reminds her of eating spaghetti
I am wasted but I'm ready
I am ready, I am ready, I am ready,I am ready, I...
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I'm running as fast as I can
I'm running as fast as I can
I'm running as fast as I can
