Courteeners - Hometown One lyrics

Do the streets light up as you grace them?
Do the birds sing your b-sides
As you walk by?
Do you get preferential treatment
From taxi drivers?
Do you find it hard fighting off admirers?

Oh my hometown one
Where have you been hiding all my life?
Oh my hometown one
Where have you been hiding all my life?

I looked up from a dull grey Monday
A flash of your red dress
Cuts through the masses
You've got perfect skin
That would make a Lankan model blush
This world is your canvas
My darling, you are the brush

Oh my hometown one


Where have you been hiding all my life?
Oh my hometown one
Where have you been hiding all my life?

You are the hometown one
Where have you been hiding all my life?
Oh my hometown one
Where have you been hiding all my life?

A little leather jacket look you
Are never gonna find
Another one like you likes a one like me
Like you like me
I wish you would see how good this could be

Oh my hometown one
Where have you been hiding all my life?
Oh my hometown one
Where have you been hiding all my life?
