Paroles
[Verse 1]
When I was ten, I wanted to explore the world
There were these older kids at school
Who'd gone all the way to Somerset
Just to see Peter Gabriel's house
Peter Gabriel from Genesis
The way they dressed
The way their hair fell over their coat collars
It all happened because of music
I wanted to know why
I couldn't go to Somerset on my own
So I used Top of the Pops as my world atlas
[Verse 2]
In 1974, I bought my first single
From Woollies in Redhill
I started to memorize the charts
To memorize the leagues
Tuesday lunchtime at 12:45
Saturday afternoon at five o'clock
I didn't go to church
I didn't need to
Green and yellow harvests
Pink pies, silver bells
And the strange and important sound of the synthesizer
[Verse 3]
Over the border, I'm growing older
Heaven only knows what's on its way
Every single day
Love is here to stay
Over the border, I'm growing older
Heaven only knows what's on its way
Every single day
Love is here to stay
[Verse 4]
Kevin drove us to parties in his Morris Minor
And there were boys, and there was booze
And mock Tudor semis
And first kisses
And terrible chat up lines
But in the end, the conversation always turned to music
[Verse 5]
I was in love
And I knew he loved me 'cause he made me a tape
I played it in my bedroom
I lived in my bedroom
All of us did
Reading Smash Hits and Record Mirror
Paul Morley and the NME
Dave McCulloch and Sounds
Modern Eon and Modern English
Mute, Why, Zoo, Factory
Cutting them up, sucking them in
Managing the story on our own
[Verse 6]
Over the border, I'm growing older
Heaven only knows what's on its way
Every single day (Love is here)
Love is here to stay (Love is here)
Over the border, I'm growing older
Heaven only knows what's on its way
Every single day (Love is here)
Love is here to stay
[Verse 7]
I had my mocks a month later
But I just wanted to listen to Dexys, New Order
Anything on postcard
A few weeks and I'd be free
A few weeks and music wouldn't have to be so private
It would be there for me
It would be there for me
And when I was married
And when I had kids
Would Marc Bolan still be so important?
[Verse 8]
Every single day (Love is here)
Love is here to stay (Love is here)
[Verse 9]
Over the border, I'm growing older
Heaven only knows what's on its way
Every single day (Love is here)
Love is here to stay (Love is here to stay)
Over the border, I'm growing older
Heaven only knows what's on its way
Every single day (Love is here)
Love is here to stay (Love is here)
[Verse 10]
Over the border, I'm growing older
Heaven only knows what's on its way
Every single day (Love is here)
Love is here to stay (Love is here to stay)
