Manitoba i/ˌmænəˈtoʊbə/ is a Canadian prairie province. The province, with an area of 649,950 square kilometres (250,900 sq mi), has a largely continental climate because of its flat topography. Agriculture, mostly concentrated in the fertile southern and western parts of the province, is vital to the province's economy; other major industries are transportation, manufacturing, mining, forestry, energy, and tourism.
Manitoba's capital and largest city, Winnipeg, is Canada's eighth-largest Census Metropolitan Area, and home to 60 percent of the population of the province. Winnipeg is the seat of government, home to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba and the highest court in the jurisdiction, the Manitoba Court of Appeal. Four of the province's five universities, all four of its professional sports teams, and most of its cultural activities are located in Winnipeg.
Fur traders first arrived during the late 17th century. Manitoba became a province of Canada in 1870 after the Red River Rebellion. A general strike took place in Winnipeg in 1919, and the province was hit hard by the Great Depression. This led to the creation of what would become the New Democratic Party of Manitoba, one of the province's major political parties and currently in power, led by premier Greg Selinger.
Three o’clock never going home,
Gonna fight the night and Ill be there tomorrow.
Four am, got a tired face not good in grace not
thinking about tomorrow.
Singing song nobody hears, naked streets ain’t got no
ears
I don’t wanna go, gotta get out, watch me falling.
Hey come around we’re all stuck in this town,
Come on over stay with me.
Late in the night always find that ain’t right
Come on over stay with me in the morning rain.
Hey now do you get that sound?
It’s running through my head, its gone tomorrow.
Though the night seems to disappear,
I’m claiming it, not taking on tomorrow.
Making noise nobody cares,
Dead streets ain’t got no air.
I don’t wanna go, gotta get out of here, watch me
falling
Hey come around we’re all stuck in this town,
Come on over stay with me.
Late in the night always find that ain’t right
Come on over stay with me in the morning rain.
I do feel I’m getting older,
Don’t wanna to talk it over.
I’ve got a lot of things to do.
Say it again.
I do feel I’m getting older,
Don’t wanna talk it over.
Watch me falling.
Hey come around we’re all stuck in this town,
Come on over stay with me.
Late in the night always find that ain’t right
Come on over stay with me in the morning rain.
In the morning rain.
