lyrics

He moved here for the
punk rock scene
19 and looking for some fun
Memories from the previous
summers at the Eros drinking
in the sun
Meeting up pre gig on the fountain steps with the other punks
Blag a quid off a tourist taking pics chipping in for the offie run

CH
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Time flies this was 20 years
ago today
Best years half his life here
in the UK
Time flies this was 20 years
ago today
But now he's gotta apply for permission to stay

The first place where he stayed was a Brixton squat called the 121
Just weeks later saw his face in the paper the old bill had kicked em out at dawn Cheap travel never paid for the bus
changed the date on a pass
he found
63 to Kings Cross for the Krishna food and the Big Issue run

Those first years never
planning ahead
taking each day as it comes
Over time realizing this city is the only place he feels at home
Got a job joined a band found his other half 12 years together
as one
Never thought he'd see the day the UK would say they prefer to see him gone

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip
