Karaoké Sovereign Light Café Keane

I'm going back to the time when we owned this town

Down powder Mill Lane and the battlegrounds

We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns

I didn't know I was finding out how I'd be torn from you

When we talked about things we were gonna do

We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too

We go down to the rides on East Parade

By the lights of the Palace arcade and watch night

Coming down on the Sovereign Light Cafe

I'm begging you for some sign but you still got nothing to say

Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away

I'm a better man now than I was that day

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade

By the lights of the Palace

Arcade and watch night

Coming down on the Sovereign Light Cafe

Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear to take turns

As the stars of the Sovereign Light Cafe

I wheel my bike off the train up the North Trade Road

And look for you on Marley lane

In every building every street sign

Oh why did we ever go so far from home

Well you've got nothing to hide

You can't change who you really are

You can get a big house and a faster car

You can run away boy but you won't go far

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade

By the lights of the Palace

Arcade and watch night

Coming down on the Sovereign Light Cafe

Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear to take turns

As the stars of the Sovereign Light Cafe

Sha lah lah lah lah lah lah lah yeah, yeah

I'm going where the people know my name
