I'm going back to the time when we owned this town

Down Down Powder Mill Lane and 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 cafe



I'm begging you for some sign but you 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 cafe

Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drums and the lovers appear to take turns

As the stars of the sovereign light cafe



I wheel my bike off the train, up the north trade road

And look for you on marley lane in every building and every street sign

Oh why did we ever go so far from the road



But you've got nothing to hide, you come to 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 cafe

Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drums and the lovers appear to take turns

As the stars of the sovereign light cafe
