I'm going back to the time when we owned this town

Down Powdermill lane in the battlegrounds

We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns

I didn't know what you thought of that night I was torn from you

When we thought about things we were gonna do

We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too

Go down to the rides on east parade,

By the lights of the palace arcade

Watch night going 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

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

Take time, just the stars and 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 side

Oh why did we ever go so far from home?

But you 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

Watch night going down on the Sovereign Light Café

Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear

Take time, just the stars and the Sovereign Light Café
