I’m going back to the 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 going to 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 [bad word] 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

Lets go down to the rides on East Parade
By the lights of the Palace Arcade
And watch [bad word] down on the Sovereign Light Café
Lets go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the [bad word] 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
I 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 [bad word] away boy but you won’t go far

Lets go down to the rides on East Parade
By the lights of the Palace Arcade
And watch [bad word] down on the Sovereign Light Café
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the [bad word] and the lovers appear
To take turns as the stars of the Sovereign Light Café

La la la la la la la la 
Yeah, i’m going where the people know my name
