Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cross the border
Into the big, bad world
Where it takes you 'bout ah hour just to cross the road
Just to stumble across another poor old soul from
[Verse 2]
The dreary old lanes to the high-street madness
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
And it's harder that you think to believe this sadness
That creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night
[Verse 3]
Life is good and the girls are gorgeous
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I'm wonderin' around with a half pack of cigarettes
Searchin' for the change that I've lost somehow
[Verse 4]
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spendin' my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know
[Verse 5]
Where'd the days go
When all we did was play
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall from
[Verse 6]
Walkin' by a high-rise to a landmark square
You see millions of people with millions of cares
And I struggle to the train to make my way home
I look at the people as they sit there alone
[Verse 7]
Life is good and the sun is shining
Everybody flirts to their ideal place
And the children all smile as a boat shuffled by them
Tryin' to pretend that they've got some space
[Verse 8]
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spendin' my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know
[Verse 9]
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spendin' my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know
[Verse 10]
Life is good and the girls are gorgeous
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I'm wonderin' around with a half pack of cigarettes
Searchin' for the change that I've lost somehow
[Verse 11]
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spendin' my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know
[Verse 12]
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spendin' my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know, I know
[Verse 13]
I know
Because you keep tellin' me so
