| I’m going back to a time when we owned this town
|
| Down Powdermill Lane and the battlegrounds
|
| We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns
|
| I didn’t know I was finding out how I’d be torn from you
|
| When we talked about things we were gonna do We were wide-eyed dreamers and wiser too
|
| We’d go down to the rides on East Parade
|
| By the lights of the Palace Arcade
|
| And watch night coming down
|
| On the Sovereign Light Café
|
| I’m begging you for some sign
|
| But you’ve still got nothing to say
|
| Don’t turn your back on me, don’t walk away
|
| I’m a better man now than I was that day
|
| Let’s go down to the rides on East Parade
|
| By the lights of the Palace Arcade
|
| And watch night coming down
|
| On the Sovereign Light Café
|
| Let’s go down to the bandstand on the pier
|
| Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
|
| To take turns as the stars
|
| Of the Sovereign Light Café
|
| I wheel my bike off the train
|
| Up the North Trade Road
|
| And look for you in Marley Lane
|
| In every building, every street sign
|
| Oh why did we ever go so far from home?
|
| Well you’ve got nothing to hide
|
| You can’t change who you really are
|
| You can get a big house and a faster car
|
| You can run away boy, but you won’t go far
|
| Let’s go down to the rides on East Parade
|
| By the lights of the Palace Arcade
|
| And watch night coming down
|
| On the Sovereign Light Café
|
| Let’s go down to the bandstand on the pier
|
| Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
|
| To take turns as the stars
|
| Of the Sovereign Light Café
|
| Sha-la-la-la-la la-de-day
|
| Yeah I’m going where the people know my name |
