George Michael - Round Here lyrics

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 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, yeah, yeah
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

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 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
These streets of London
It's everything I know
(everything and everybody)
On the streets of London i want to thank you
I want to thank you thank you
My daddy got here on the gravy train
My daddy got here on the gravy train
My daddy got here on the gravy train
