Sovereign Light Café

I'm going back to a time when we owned this town
 Down Powder Mill Lane in 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'd go down to the rides on East Parade
 By the lights of the Palace Arcade
 And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
 I'm begging you for some sign, but you've 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 Café
 Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
 Watch the drunks and the lovers appear to take turns
 As the stars at the Sovereign Light Café
 
 I wheel my bike off the train
 Up the North Trade Road
 Look for you on Marley Lane
 In every building, every street sign
 Oh why did we ever go so far from home?
 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 Café
 Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
 Watch the drunks and the lovers appear to take turns
 As the stars at the Sovereign Light Café
 Sha-la-la-la-la-la-di-day
 Yeah, I'm going where the people know my name
