| [00:46.44] | There's only one way of life |
| [00:48.78] | And that's your own |
| [00:49.23] | My father when I was younger |
| [00:49.92] | Took me up on to the hill |
| [00:51.51] | That looked down on the city smog |
| [00:52.26] | Above the factory spill |
| [00:54.45] | He said this is where I come |
| [00:57.00] | When I want to be free |
| [00:58.95] | Well he never was in his lifetime |
| [01:02.61] | But these words stuck with me |
| [01:13.23] | I ran from all of this |
| [01:13.68] | And I climbed that highest hill |
| [01:23.79] | And looked down on my life |
| [01:24.30] | Beneath the factory spill |
| [01:56.70] | I looked down onto my life |
| [02:07.35] | As the family disgrace |
| [02:11.91] | Then to all my friends on the starting line |
| [02:12.78] | Their wages off to chase |
| [02:43.14] | And all my friends and all their jobs |
| [02:46.47] | And all the bloody waste |
| [02:46.95] | CHORUS |
| [02:51.06] | I grew up, learned to love and laugh |
| [02:54.39] | Circled A's on the underpass |
| [02:56.97] | But the noise we thought would never stop |
| [02:57.96] | Died a death as the punks grew up |
| [03:10.95] | And we choked on our dreams |
| [03:20.79] | We wrestled with our fears |
| [03:21.45] | Running through the heartless streets |
| [03:37.38] | Chasing our ideas |
| [03:57.96] | And the problems of the world |
| [03:58.68] | Won't be solved by this guitar |
| [04:01.71] | And they won't stop coming either |
| [04:02.37] | By the life I've had so far |
| [04:03.90] | And the bright lights of my home town |
| [04:04.59] | Won't be getting any dimmer |
| [04:15.15] | Though their calling has receded now |
| [04:20.58] | Like some old distant singer |
| [04:23.07] | And they don't seem so appealing |
| [04:23.64] | To the eyes of this poor sinner |
| [04:26.46] | CHORUS |
