I'm going back to a time when we owned this town
Down Powder Mill lane in the battlegrounds
We were friendsloversclueless clowns
I didn't know I was finding out how I'd be torn from you
When we talked about things we were gonna do
We were wide-eyed dreamerswiser too
We'd go down to the rides on east parade
By the lights of the palace arcade
And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
I'm begging you for some sign
But youï¿œve still got nothing to say
Donï¿œt turn your back on me, donï¿œt walk away
Iï¿œm a better man now than I was that day
Letï¿œs go down to the rides on east parade
By the lights of the palace arcade
And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Cafￜ
Letï¿œs go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunksthe lovers appear
To take turns as the stars of the Sovereign Light Cafￜ
I wheel my bike off the train, up the North Trade Road
And look for you on Marley Lane
In every building, in every street side
Oh, why did we ever go so far from home
Well, you got nothing to hide
You canï¿œt change who you really are
You can get a big housea faster car
You can run away, boy, but you wonï¿œt go far
Letï¿œs go down to the rides on east parade
By the lights of the palace arcade
And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Cafￜ
Letï¿œs go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunksthe lovers appear
To take turns as the stars of the Sovereign Light Cafￜ
Sha la la la la la la la ay, yeah
Iï¿œm going where the people know my name
