Round Here |
My daddy got here on the gravy train |
I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game |
They went walking and she took his name |
Round here |
There was dancing in the afternoons those days |
Waiting tables, chasing girls with the money he made |
It was 1957, and love felt the same, love felt the same |
Frightened little girl, she makes a break |
Into the arms of something better |
Round here |
I hear my mama call in Kingsbury Park |
Just me and David and a football that glowed in the dark |
Waiting patiently to make my mark |
Round here |
And I remember my first day at school |
And I remember trouble, and thinking I was so cool |
I remember it all, like yesterday |
Don’t you |
Every time I try to leave this place |
Something inside says, «You can do better» |
Round here |
So come with me, let me show you where I’ve lived |
I want to put my hands in this earth again |
Music fell like rain to the streets |
The Specials and The Jam, to The Beat |
Even though I think I’ve seen everything there is to see of this world |
I gotta be thankful that this crowded space |
Is the place of my birth |
When all that I wanted, was to be someone |
Two little Hitlers in an old church hall |
Some cheesy covers and those neighbours that banged on the walls |
Andy says it’s time to show them all |
Round here |
Please sir, we two have other plans |
Please sir you would not understand |
What’s going on |
Is magical, can’t you see |
That some of us do more than dream |
Every time I try to leave this place |
Something inside says, «Keep on keeping, on and on» |
Around here |
So come with me, let me show you where I’ve lived |
I want to put my hands in this earth again |
Music fell like rain to the streets |
The Specials and The Jam, ABC |
Even though I think I’ve seen everything there is to see of this world |
I gotta be thankful that this crowded space |
Is the place of my birth |
My birth |
In this town |
Yes I guess I got to be someone |
To be somebody |
In the beautiful city |
This place I call home |
These streets of London |
It’s everything I know (everything and everybody) |
On the streets of London |
I want to thank you |
My daddy got here on the gravy train |
