The Spinners - In My Liverpool Home lyrics

In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral
We've got one to spare in my Liverpool home

I was born in Liverpool, down by the docks
Me religion was Catholic
Occupation hard knocks
At stealing from lorries I was adept
And under an overcoat each night we slept

In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral
We've got one to spare in my Liverpool home

Well when I grew up, I met Bridget McGann
She says
"You're not much but I'm needin' a man"
"'Cause, I want sixteen kids and
A house out in Speke"
Well the spirit was willin' but
The flesh it was weak

In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral
We've got one to spare in my Liverpool home

In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral
We've got one to spare in my Liverpool home

Way back in the forties
The world had went mad
Mister Hitler threw at us
Everything that he had
When the smoke and the dust had
All cleared from the air
"Thank God", said my old man
"The pier head's still there!"

In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral
We've got one to spare in my Liverpool home
