I'm going back to the time when we owned this town Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you When we thought about things we were gonna do We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too Go down to the rides on East Parade, by the lights of the Palace Arcade Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say Or I'm turning back home and I'm walking away I'm a better man now than I was that day Go down to the rides on East Parade, by the lights of the Palace Arcade Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café Go down to the bandstand on the pier Watch the drunks and the lovers appear Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café I wheel my bike off the train, Up the North Trade Road, Look for you on Marley Lane In every building, every streetlight Oh why did we ever go so far from home? You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are You can get a big house and a faster car You can run away boy, but you won't go far Let's go down to the rides on East Parade, by the lights of the Palace Arcade Watch night going down on the Sovereign Light Café Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier Watch the drunks and the lovers appear Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café La la la la la la la laYeah, I'm going where the people know my name La la la la la la la laYeah, I'm going where the people know my name
