George Michael - Round Here lyrics

Album: Patience (2004)

My daddy got here on the gravy train
I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game
They went walking & 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, & love felt the same, love felt the same

Frightened little girl, she makes a break
Into the arms of… smth better
Round here

I hear my mama call in Kingsbury Park
Just me & David & a football that glowed in the dark
Waiting patiently to make my mark
Round here

And I remember my 1st day at school
And I remember trouble, & thinking I was so cool
I remember it all, like yesterday

Don´t you

Every time I try to leave this place
Smth inside says, “You can do better”
Round here

So come with me, let me show you where I have lived
I wanna put my hands in this earth again
Music fell like rain to the streets
The Specials & The Jam, to The Beat
Even though I think I have seen everything there´s to see of this world
I´ve got to be thankful that this crowded space
Is the place of my birth

When all that I wanted, was to be someone.

Two little Hitlers in an old church hall
Some cheesy covers & those neighbours that banged on the walls
Andy says it is time to show them all
Round here

Please sir, we two have other plans
Please sir you´d 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
Smth inside says, “Keep on keeping, on & on….”
Around here

So come with me, let me show you where I have lived
I wanna put my hands in this earth again
Music fell like rain to the streets
The Specials & The Jam, ABC
Even though I think I have seen everything there´s to see of this world
I´ve got to 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 is everything I know (everything & everybody)
On the streets of London
I wanna thank you

My daddy got here on the gravy train.
