im 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 didnt know Id 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 Cafe
Im begging you for some sign
but youve still got nothing
to say
Or Im turning back home
and Im walking away
Im 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 Cafe
Go down to the bandstand
on the pier
Watch the drunks and the
lovers appear
Take time just the stars at
the Sovereign Light Cafe
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 got nothing to
high come change
You can get a big house
and a faster car
You can run away boy
but you wont go far
Lets go down to the rides
on East Parade
by the lights of the
Palace Arcade
Watch night going down
on the Sovereign Light Cafe
Stroll down to the bandstand
on the pier
Watch the drunks and the
lovers appear
Take time just the stars at the
Sovereign Light Cafe
La la la la la la la laYeah
Im going where the people
know my name
im going back to the time
