[00:47.320]I attended Stanley Tech
[00:52.400]In South Norwood Hill
[00:54.169]I think it was, oh yeah
[00:58.978]Where the bronze bust was nicked
[01:04.100]Let me think, it must've been in my third year
[01:10.607]Lying in wait outside Virgo Fidelis
[01:14.819]And the Lady Edridge Grammar School
[01:22.626]I worked at the Fairfield Halls
[01:27.740]Cleaning toilets, but I understood some day
[01:34.145]I'd be back in my own right
[01:39.257]Giving concerts in my own peculiar way
[01:46.062]But I kept my rabbit back at home
[01:50.253]And I cleaned it every other day
[01:53.359](other day, other day, other day)
[01:58.471]And now the time has come to say
[02:01.470]Farewell Dad with your sardines
[02:03.539]And the TV set that I blew
[02:10.196]And now the time has come to say
[02:13.267]Farewell Mum to your baked beans
[02:15.331]And the poppadums I never knew
[02:21.521]I'll be in Los Angeles
[02:26.673]Where the famous people never quite get old
[02:33.062]Yeah, in Los Angeles
[02:38.438]Where they're all too rich to even feel the cold
[02:44.863]But I'll still be dreaming of you Croydon
[02:49.206]Especially in the cold and rain
[02:52.219](cold and rain, cold and rain, cold and rain)
[02:57.369]And now the time has come to say
[03:00.327]I'll be leaving Croydon way
[03:02.458]To the lovely town I once knew
[03:09.099]And now the time has come to say
[03:12.157]I'll be back another day
[03:14.092]Saying sod LA, what a day
[03:20.391]What a day
[03:23.178]What a day
[03:26.066]What a day
[03:29.155]What a day
