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
