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
