i do not own this song
Cross the border,
Into the big bad world
Where it takes you about an hour
Just to cross the road
Just to stumble across
another poor old soul from
The dreary old lanes to
the high street madness
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
And it's harder than you think
To delay this sadness
That creeps up my spine
And haunts me through the night
Life is good and the girls are gorgeous
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I'm wandering around
With a half pack of cigarettes
Searching for the change
that I've lost somehow
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and
spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know
Where'd the days go?
When all we did was play
And the stress that we were
under wasn't stress at all
Just a run and a jump
into a harmless fall from
Walking by a high rise
to a landmark square
You see millions of people
with millions of cares
And I struggle to the
train to make my way home
I look at the people as
they sit there alone
Life is good, and the sun is shining
Everybody floods to their ideal place
And the children all smile
as the boats shuffle by them
Trying to pretend that
they've got some space
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and
spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and
spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I'm wandering around
With a half pack of cigarettes
Searching for the change
that I've lost somehow
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and
spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and
spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know
I... know
I know
