China Lane
The street stretches down between the Pound Store and the William Hill And though I never walked you before Old memories spill Through the back door of my mind. I stand there, fixed See the ligh filter down Makes all the buildings in this town glow red and gold and mauve and brown. You're every person and every place Every feelings and every face I've ever known Captured in this moment between 4 and half past And soon the sky will be overcast. My whole life... in this Manchester backstreet. But I gotta be somewhere You've always gotta be somewhere We humans are slaves to our brains We always take the same tired route home When all we need is to follow our feet. Oh China Lane, today you mean everything to me Your every street I never walked down, Oh China Lane. I don't know where you lead And the sight of you plants the seed Of thinking of things I never did Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'm walking away I guess I'll have to come back another day But by then I'll be dead and gone And all the things that could have been right Will now stay wrong Cos I've gotta be somewhere You've always gotta be somewhere We humans are slaves to our brains We always take the same tired route home When all we need is to follow our feet. Oh China Lane, today you mean everything to me You're every street I never walked down, Oh China Lane. You're every man I've lost You're every way I've grown You're every face I love, You're everything I know! You're every boy i've kissed You're every friend I miss You see my heart Every part.
