THE PLACE WE USED TO LIVE IN
YOU COULD SAY IT WASN'T MUCH
BUT IT WAS HOME TO US
AND YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN
IF YOU THOUGHT
THAT IT WAS ROUGH
BUT IT WAS HOME TO US
THE ROSES IN THE YARD
BEGAN TO WILT
AND THEN THEY TURNED TO DUST
BUT IT WAS HOME TO US
WE DIDN'T WORRY
WHERE THE ROAD
WAS GONNA TAKE US TO
THERE WASN'T TIME
TO MAKE A FUSS
'CAUSE THAT WAS ALL WE KNEW
THE WORLD AROUND US
WASN'T SAFE
THE PLACE WAS FALLING DOWN
BUT IT WAS MY HOMETOWN
AND IT WAS HOME TO US
THE LADY ON THE HILL
WAS DRINKING BRANDY
EATING CAVIAR
THE PERFECT HOST
MY MUM WAS IN THE KITCHEN
WASHING DISHES IN THE SINK
AND THEN SHE BURNT THE TOAST
THE KIDS ARE IN THE ALLEY
PLAYING BALL
UNTIL THE SUN GOES DOWN
BUT THAT WAS MY HOMETOWN
AND IT WAS HOME TO US
THERE WASN'T TIME
TO MAKE A FUSS
'CAUSE THAT WAS ALL WE KNEW
THE PLACE WAS FALLING DOWN
BUT THAT WAS MY HOMETOWN
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH
AND IT WAS ALL I KNEW
'CAUSE IT WAS HOME TO US
THE PLACE WE USED TO PLAY
WAS IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE STREET
BUT IT WAS HOME TO US
WHEN THE SKIES WERE GREY
IT DIDN'T MATTER ANYWAY
BUT IT WAS HOME TO US
THE ROSES IN THE YARD
BEGAN TO WILT
AND THEN THEY TURNED TO DUST
BUT IT WAS HOME TO US
YEAH, IT WAS HOME TO US
YEAH, YEAH
YEAH, IT WAS HOME TO US
