George Michael - Round Here Lyrics
My daddy got here on the gravy trainI guess my mama had a real bad start to the gameThey went walking and she took his nameRound hereThere was dancing in the afternoons those daysWaiting tables, chasing girls with the money he madeIt was 1957, and love felt the same, love felt the sameFrightened little girl, she makes a breakInto the arms of… something betterRound hereI hear my mama call in Kingsbury ParkJust me and David and a football that glowed in the darkWaiting patiently to make my markRound hereAnd I remember my first day at schoolAnd I remember trouble, and thinking I was so coolI remember it all, like yesterdayDon't youEvery time I try to leave this placeSomething inside says, “You can do better”Round hereSo come with me, let me show you where I've livedI want to put my hands in this earth againMusic fell like rain to the streetsThe Specials and The Jam, to The BeatEven though I think I've seen everything there is to see of this worldI gotta be thankful that this crowded spaceIs the place of my birthWhen all that I wanted, was to be someone.Two little Hitlers in an old church hallSome cheesy covers and those neighbours that banged on the wallsAndy says it's time to show them allRound herePlease sir, we two have other plansPlease sir you would not understand,What's going onIs magical, can't you seeThat some of us do more than dreamEvery time I try to leave this placeSomething inside says, “Keep on keeping, on and on….”Around hereSo come with me, let me show you where I've livedI want to put my hands in this earth againMusic fell like rain to the streetsThe Specials and The Jam, ABCEven though I think I've seen everything there is to see of this worldI gotta be thankful that this crowded spaceIs the place of my birthMy birth,In this town,Yes I guess I got to be someoneTo be somebodyIn the Beautiful cityThis place I call homeThese streets of LondonIt's everything I know (everything and everybody)On the streets of LondonI want to thank youMy daddy got here on the gravy train.
