Songs to sing about our city
Heart as big as Liverpool The Mighty Wah
​
Pete Wylie is an absolute legend! His music and its many incarnations, capture the heart and soul of Liverpool like few others. Heart as Big as Liverpool alone cements his place in the city's musical history, but his whole catalogue is packed with passion, wit, and that unmistakable Liverpool energy.
​
As for the best songs about our city? It’s a tough call with so many greats from The Chants, The Beatles, Real Thing, Pacemakers and Jerry, The Bunnymen, The La’s, The Christians, The Coral, The Farm, Ian McNabb, Pele, Cast, China Crisis, The La's, Ian Broudie, Frankie, OMG, Searchers, Billy Fury, Big in Japan, who have I left out ...loads what songs did that lis of talent write about our City?
Pete's anthemic, heartfelt tunes and that big personality make him a strong contender but it's not a competition it's a Liverpool co-op of talent END off.
​
The list above is too short, we as a City need to celebrate not just the Beatles we should say to our visitors please listen to all the talent that has delivered to the world of music from our city.

When all the lights go out forever
Somewhere near the end of time
The noise will pass and the dust will settle
And you'll be on my mind
Now you won't find it hard to understand
Though it's so hard to explain
The who and what and how and why and wherefore
You kept me sane, you kept me sane
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause you were there for me
Oh, and you set me free (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
To be what I want to be
With dignity
Heart as big as my hometown
Lay me down by water cool
Heart as big as the city
Heart as big as Liverpool, oh
Oh-oh
Well, I'll come running from the other side
When I hear you call my name
And if somebody wants to point the finger
I'll take the blame, I'll take the blame (I'll do the same)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause you were there for me
Oh, and you set me free
To be what I want to be
With dignity
Heart as big as my hometown
Lay me down by water cool
Heart as big as the city
Heart as big as Liverpool
And I am not alone
And I am not alone
Yeah, now I know
And I am not alone, mm
(And I am not alone) I am not alone
Let me hear you say
And I am not alone (let me hear you say)
I am not alone (and you can't believe it)
Oh, I am not alone (now I know)
I am not alone (I'm not alone) you're not alone
We are not alone
Heart as big as my hometown
Lay me down by water cool
Heart as big as the city
Heart as big as Liverpool
Heart as big as my hometown
Lay me down by water cool
Heart as big as the city
Liverpool
You are not alone
And I am not alone
