[Verse]
CCross the borderEm, intFo the big Gbad world
Where it takes you about an hour just toC
crEmoss the road,
Just to sFtumble across another pGoor old sole,
FCrom the dreary old lanes to the EmHigh St madness,
IF fight with my brain to belGieve my eyes
And iCt's harder than you think to
belGieve this sadness,
It cFreeps up my spine and haunts me
tGhrough the night
[Pre-Chorus]
LAm7ife is good, and the girls are gorgeous,
SFuddenly the air smells much greener now
AAm7nd I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes
SGearching for the change I've lost somehow
[Chorus]
TChese Streets, have too many nEmames for me
IF'm used to Glenfield Road and spending
mGy time down in Orchy
IC'll get used to this evEmentually
IF know, I Gknow
[Verse]
WhCere'd the days goEm, wheFn all we diGd was play
ACnd the stress that we were under wasn't
sEmtress at all,
Just aF run and a jump into A7a harmless fall
FCrom walking by a high-rise to a
lEmandmark square,
You see mFillions of people with mGillions of cares
ACnd I struggle to the train to make
mGy way home
IF look at the people as they sGit there alone
[Pre-Chorus]
LAm7ife is good and the sun is shining,
EFverybody floats to their ideal place
AAm7nd the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them,
TGrying to pretend that they've got some space.
[Chorus] (x2)
TChese Streets, have too many nEmames for me
IF'm used to Glenfield Road and spending
mGy time down in Orchy
IC'll get used to this evEmentually
IF know, I Gknow
[Pre-Chorus]
LAm7ife is good and the sun is shining,
EFverybody floats to their ideal place
AAm7nd the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them,
TGrying to pretend that they've got some space
[Chorus] (x2)
TChese Streets, have too many nEmames for me
IF'm used to Glenfield Road and spending
mGy time down in Orchy
IC'll get used to this evEmentually
