Round Here (Singalong Version) - Pop Idols United

My daddy got here on the gravy train

I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game

They went walking and she took his name

Round here

There was dancing in the afternoons those days

Waiting tables' chasing 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

Waiting patiently to make my mark

Round here

And I remember my my first day at school

And I remember trouble' and thinking I was so cool

I remember it all' oh yeah' like yesterday

Don't you

Every time I try to leave this place

Something inside says' You can do better' yeah

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 everything

There is to see of this world

I gotta be thankful that

This crowded space is the place of my birth

When 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 keeping' on and on

Around 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' ABC

Even though I think I've seen everything

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 everything I know (everything and everybody)

On the streets of London

I want to thank you

Thank you

I want to thank you

Thank you
