John Otway - A413 Revisited lyrics

Gonna drift on down to the county town The place where I was born Gonna ask my childhood sweetheart To tell me how I've done I always used to worry a lot About what I'd become I guess it's really only her Who will know if I have won There's a reunion at the Grange County Secondary School Where there's a bunch of us Thrown together at a formative age We couldn't pa** our 11+ Strange lesson at the age of eleven To find that life ain't chance And if at first you don't succeed You've already been a failure once From Amersham, to Missenden, to Wendover, to the Vale of Aylesbury That's me, heading down the 413 From Amersham, to Missenden, to Wendover, to the Vale of Aylesbury That's me, heading down the 413 I'm gonna wander into the Bell Hotel At the bottom of the market square I'll ask the girl behind the bar If they still do bands in there I'll tell her I've written something new Can I get my guitar There might be someone who remembers me From 1974 The Bucks Herald is the local paper Serving the community I'm gonna ask the editor If they'll do a piece on me I can say that I've had some new photos done And I'm sure I've got some archive stuff I guess they will do something If a hit gets high enough From Amersham, to Missenden, to Wendover, to the Vale of Aylesbury That's me, heading down the 413 From Amersham, to Missenden, to Wendover, to the Vale of Aylesbury That's me, heading down the 413 (repeat ×2)
