George Michael - Round here - remastered 2006 lyrics

My daddy got here on the gravy train I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game They went walkin' and she took his name, round here There was dancin' in the afternoons, those days Waitin' tables, chasin' girls with the money he made It was 1957 and love felt the same, love felt the same Frightened little girl, she makes a break Into the arms of something better, round here I hear my mama call in Kingsbury Park Just me and David and a football that glowed in the dark Waitin' patiently to make my mark, round here And I remember my, my first day at school And I remember trouble and thinkin' I was so cool I remember it all, like yesterday, don't you Every time I try to leave this place Something inside says, "You can do better", round here So come with me, let me show you where I've lived I want to put my hands in this earth again Music fell like rain to the streets The Specials and The Jam, to the beat Even though I think I've seen everythin' There is to see of this world I gotta be thankful that this crowded space Is the place of my birth All that I wanted, was to be someone Two little Hitlers in an old church hall Some cheesy covers and those neighbours That banged on the walls Andy says it's time to show them all, round here Please sir, we two have other plans Please sir you would not understand What's going on, is magical, can't you see That some of us do more than dream Every time I try to leave this place Something inside Says, "Keep on keepin', on and on", around here So come with me, let me show you where I've lived I wanna put my hands in this earth again Music fell like rain to the streets The Specials and The Jam, ABC Even though I think I've seen everythin' There is to see of this world I gotta be thankful that this crowded space Is the place of my birth, my birth In this town, yes, I guess I got to be someone To be somebody, in the beautiful city This place I call home (This place I call my home) These streets of London (This place I call my home) It's everythin' I know (Everythin' and everybody) On the streets of London (I wanna thank you, thank you) This place I call my home (I wanna thank you, thank you) Daddy got here on the gravy train Daddy got here on the gravy train Daddy got here on the gravy train
