[00:00.86] Cross the border,
[00:13.55] Into the big bad world
[00:17.62] Where it takes you 'bout an hour
[00:20.21] Just to cross the road
[00:21.30] Just to stumble across another poor old soul from
[00:24.51] The dreary old lanes to the high-street madness
[00:28.49] I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
[00:32.09] And it's harder than you think
[00:34.52] To believe this sadness
[00:36.23] That creeps up my spine
[00:39.66] And haunts me through the night
[00:40.64] And life is good and the girls are gorgeous
[00:43.81] Suddenly the air smells much greener now
[00:47.44] And I'm wondering around
[00:49.22] With a half pack of cigarettes
[00:51.70] Searching for the change that I've lost somehow
[00:54.79]
[00:55.35] These streets have too many names for me
[00:58.94] I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
[01:04.06] I'll get used to this eventually
[01:07.05] I know, I know
[01:10.47]
[01:11.99] Where'd the days go? When all we did was play
[01:18.49] And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all
[01:22.40] Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall from
[01:26.19] Walking by a high-rise to a landmark square
[01:30.22] You see millions of people with millions of cares
[01:34.25] And I struggle to the train to make my way home
[01:37.96] I look at the people as they sit there alone
[01:41.24] Life is good, and the sun is shining
[01:45.66] Everybody flirts to their ideal place
[01:49.42] And the children all smile as a boat shuffled by them
[01:53.06] Trying to pretend that they've got some space
[01:56.73]
[01:57.14] These streets have too many names for me
[02:00.66] I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
[02:05.91] I'll get used to this eventually
[02:08.84] I know, I know
[02:12.33]
[02:12.67] These streets have too many names for me
[02:16.30] I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
[02:21.46] I'll get used to this eventually
[02:24.31] I know, I know
[02:27.53]
[02:28.29] Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous
[02:32.66] Suddenly the air smells much greener now
[02:35.84] And I'm wondering around
[02:38.68] With a half pack of cigarettes
[02:40.60] Searching for the change that I've lost somehow
[02:43.32]
[02:44.28] These streets have too many names for me
[02:47.68] I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
[02:53.27] I'll get used to this eventually
[02:56.15] I know, I know
[02:59.70]
[03:00.17] These streets have too many names for me
[03:03.48] I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in our Orchy
[03:08.89] I'll get used to this eventually
[03:11.63] I know, I know
