lyrics

I used to live right there
Down the hallway and up the stairs
Now we’re going back
Over twenty-five years

Where I started out
It’s nothing much to shout about
An empty room to sleep
And the noise of the street

Moving up the hill
Climbing high and further still
Walls are shining white
And the cool of the night

Goodbye Hamilton Road
I knew you so well
We had a few years
And there’s so much to tell
Goodbye Highbury Grove
It’s time to move on
I’m getting ahead
So much has come and it’s gone

Round and round, up and down
Through the town, then and now
Streets I’ve seen, how I’ve been
What I know, where I go

61 and 17
32 and 33
54, 25
86 and 49

Good times, favourite places
Old friends, smiling faces
Loves, hates, keep repeating
Hideaways, secret meetings

Late night early morning
Pale light, rain is falling
Sunrise, mist is clearing
Tired eyes, sky appearing

Regents Park and Primrose Hill
Camberwell and Robinsfield
Mansfield Town, Billingham
Stockwell Park and Nottingham

Elms, ash, oak, pine
That’s yours, this is mine
Blue door, yellow walls
Corner shop, market stall

Streets that I have been
Places that I’ve seen
Something that is mine
Going back to find

Goodbye Cavendish Road
I miss you so much
It’s been a long time
And now we’re out of touch
Goodbye Newington Green
I loved you for years
And on a clear day
I still can see you from here

Then I crash and burn
Blew as much as I could earn
A corner on the floor
And the holes in the wall

Goodbye Avenue Road
So what did I do?
I’ve fallen so far
Now I’ve come back to you
Goodbye Cannondale Lane
I’m dead on my feet
With nowhere to go
I’ll find your rundown street

Goodbye Liverpool Road
We had a good time
Those nights were the best
You know those friends of mine
Goodbye Parliament Hill
You’re looking so old
The end of the street
Is not the end of the world

I used to live right there
