[00:10.33]My daddy got here on the gravy train
[00:14.37]I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game
[00:19.36]They went walkin' and she took his name, round here
[00:25.84]🎵
[00:28.65]There was dancin' in the afternoons, those days
[00:33.73]Waitin' tables, chasin' girls with the money he made
[00:38.06]It was 1957 and love felt the same, love felt the same
[00:47.24]Frightened little girl, she makes a break
[00:52.50]Into the arms of something better, round here
[01:02.45]🎵
[01:05.76]I hear my mama call in Kingsbury Park
[01:10.17]Just me and David and a football that glowed in the dark
[01:15.71]Waitin' patiently to make my mark, round here
[01:24.38]And I remember my, my first day at school
[01:29.25]And I remember trouble and thinkin' I was so cool
[01:34.21]I remember it all, like yesterday, don't you
[01:44.23]Every time I try to leave this place
[01:48.41]Something inside says, "You can do better", round here
[02:00.27]So come with me, let me show you where I've lived
[02:07.69]I want to put my hands in this earth again
[02:12.09]Music fell like rain to the streets
[02:15.30]The Specials and The Jam, to the beat
[02:20.13]Even though I think I've seen everythin'
[02:23.53]There is to see of this world
[02:27.88]I gotta be thankful that this crowded space
[02:32.75]Is the place of my birth
[02:37.84]All that I wanted, was to be someone
[02:47.70]Two little Hitlers in an old church hall
[02:53.09]Some cheesy covers and those neighbours
[02:56.12]That banged on the walls
[02:57.98]Andy says it's time to show them all, round here
[03:04.25]🎵
[03:07.05]Please sir, we two have other plans
[03:11.52]Please sir you would not understand
[03:15.51]What's going on, is magical, can't you see
[03:21.82]That some of us do more than dream
[03:26.79]Every time I try to leave this place
[03:31.07]Something inside
[03:32.75]Says, "Keep on keepin', on and on", around here
[03:42.64]So come with me, let me show you where I've lived
[03:49.91]I wanna put my hands in this earth again
[03:54.55]Music fell like rain to the streets
[03:57.70]The Specials and The Jam, ABC
[04:02.88]Even though I think I've seen everythin'
[04:06.36]There is to see of this world
[04:10.38]I gotta be thankful that this crowded space
[04:15.24]Is the place of my birth, my birth
[04:26.08]In this town, yes, I guess I got to be someone
[04:34.28]🎵
[04:38.92]To be somebody, in the beautiful city
[04:48.05]This place I call home
[04:50.76](This place I call my home)
[04:52.61]These streets of London
[04:54.36](This place I call my home)
[04:57.25]It's everythin' I know
[04:59.13](Everythin' and everybody)
[05:01.28]On the streets of London
[05:03.14](I wanna thank you, thank you)
[05:06.59]This place I call my home
[05:07.72](I wanna thank you, thank you)
[05:11.17]🎵
[05:18.25]Daddy got here on the gravy train
[05:22.48]Daddy got here on the gravy train
[05:27.05]Daddy got here on the gravy train
