Round Here

My daddy got here on the gravy train
 I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game
 They went walkin' and she took his name, round here
 ♪
 There was dancin' in the afternoons, those days
 Waitin' tables, chasin' 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
 Waitin' patiently to make my mark, round here
 
 And I remember my, my first day at school
 And I remember trouble and thinkin' 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 everythin'
 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 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 keepin', on and on", around here
 So come with me, let me show you where I've lived
 I wanna 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 everythin'
 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
 (This place I call my home)
 These streets of London
 (This place I call my home)
 It's everythin' I know
 (Everythin' and everybody)
 On the streets of London
 (I wanna thank you, thank you)
 This place I call my home
 (I wanna thank you, thank you)
