Gra** is gone
There's only concrete to walk upon
The motorway has been through and gone
There's nothing here left to see
Corner shop
All that's left is an empty plot
Making room for an office block
It's just a sign of the change of times
Hometown, everything has been changed around
Buildings so high, can't even spy
The sun going down
It looks cold
I see no sight of a barber's pole
Even that one has been sold
To the city men with their "Vacant" signs
How strange
People thinking that I have changed
But as it happens, I'm just the same
It's just the cut of the clothes I wear
Hometown, everything has been changed around
Buildings so high, can't even spy
The sun going down
