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
and 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
earth again Music fell like
rain to the streets
The Specials and The Jam ABC
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
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 home
It's everything I know
everything and everybody
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
thank you
