Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thought I had a degree of resistance
But look at me seeking assistance
A neutral voice to talk to
A room to walk to in the city with a painting of a mother
Pretty
[Verse 2]
And another of a father in my eye line
Forcing me to try to take stock
To face up
Wind back the clock
Push down the fear
Bring the summer ghosts near
[Verse 3]
And when you look back, you find you haven't traveled far
Thought you'd changed until reminded who you are
And every piece of you that you volunteer
Just brings the summer ghosts near
Brings the summer ghosts near
[Verse 4]
My folks were just people will their own shit
And God knows there was enough of it
Wrapped up in themselves
Jazz on the shelves
It's how you deal with it, not to make a meal of it
[Verse 5]
I watch the dark come and let it go
I could be the Zen master I know
Though it's easier when you're short of it
As opposed to when there's really quite a lot of it
[Verse 6]
And when you look back, you find you haven't traveled far
Thought you'd changed until reminded who you are
And every piece of you that you volunteer
Just brings the summer ghosts near
Bring the summer ghosts near
[Verse 7]
And this is Spring Bank, where I walked years ago
Welcome to the world I used to know
Now it's clearance sails
Saturday hair and nails
Loans and helps with debt
Flats over shops to let
Up goes the Hilton on the corner of Ferensway
The first for a long time, it feels like yesterday
Heart blows the easterly
My granddad was born here, out on the Anlaby Road
[Verse 8]
And when you look back, you find you haven't traveled far
Thought you'd changed until reminded who you are
And every piece of you that you volunteer
Just brings the summer ghosts near
Brings the summer ghosts near
[Verse 9]
Past the land of green ginger
Through Hepworth's Arcade
Past the land of green ginger
Down Whitefriargate
