Liverpool

It's a long, long way to Liverpool

For this young Scottish dude

Jumped on a train to central station

I hid in the toilet with you

I never had two pounds

To rub together

But that didn't matter to you

Matter to you

When I first saw the Mersey river

I couldn't believe my eyes

I stood there in the pouring rain

As the ferry past me by

Cos I'm not very complicated

I lead a simple life

A simple life

The only saving grace

You never had it to give it away

When I tried to change

But you just wanted to stay the same

You took it for granted

That I'd always save the day

But I can't stop the pain

Got caught up in a hustle and bustle

I had to get used to that

Wrote my name on the strawberry gates

I guess it makes me a tourist now

I had a cup of tea in Matthew street

Felt like a Beatle man

In Lennon's land

The way you make me feel

When you turned and looked at me

I tried to find myself

But I got lost in you for years

See your smile for miles

But your candy floss tears

They melted you my dear

I had to face my biggest fears

But it's a long long way to Liverpool

It's a long long way to Liverpool

Well it's a long long way to Liverpool

It's a long long way to Liverpool
