Oxford Street |
When I was ten, I thought my brother was God |
He’d lie in bed and turn out the light with a fishing rod |
I learned the names of all his football team |
And I still remembered them when I was nineteen, yeah |
Strange the things deal that I remember still |
Shouts from the playground when I was home and ill |
My sister taught me all that she learned there |
When we grew up, we said, we’d share a flat somewhere |
When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street |
Where I grow up, there were no factories |
There was a school and shops and some fields and trees |
And rows of houses one by one appeared |
I was born in one and lived there for eighteen years |
Then when I was nineteen, I thought the Humbler would be |
The gateway from my little world into the real world |
But there is no real world |
We live side by side and sometimes collide |
When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street |
It was a little world, I grew up in a little world |
There is no real world |
We live side by side and sometimes collide, yeah |
