Lyrics below: 

I'm going back to a 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 was finding out how I'd be torn from you

When we talked about things we were gonna do

We were wide-eyed dreamers and wiser 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 you've still got nothing to say

Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away

I'm a better man now than I was that day

Let's 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

Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear to take turns

As 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 street sign

Oh why did we ever go so far from home?

You've got nothing to hide, you can't change who you really 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

And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear to take turns

As the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-di-day

Yeah, I'm going where the people know my name
