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
There was dancing

in the afternoons
those days
It was nineteen

fifty-seven
And love felt the same,

love felt the same
Frightened little girl,

she makes a break
Into the arms of

something better
yeah
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 I
And I remember my

first day at school
And I remember trouble,

and thinking
I was so cool
I remember it all

Oh yeah
like yesterday
Don't you

Every time I try to
leave this place
Something inside says
You can do better

Yeah yeah
Round here
So come with me,

I wanna 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
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 wall
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
It's magical,
can't you see

that some of us do
more than dream?
Something inside says
keep on keeping

on and on and on
and on around here
So come with me,

I wanna 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
This place I call

my home
I want to thank you

Thank you
