Wessex Boy Lyrics - England Keep My Bones - Frank Turner

Let me tell you all a little story of the things I've found 

Hanging out and drinking with my friends in the cathedral grounds 

And later dodging drunks as we dance along Jury Street 

As we wander uptown to the railway, our friends to meet 

There's something about coming back to your hometown again 

The place where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends 

And though none of them still live here, I've got nowhere to go 

I'm a Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm home 

Let me tell you all a little story of the things I've lost 

Huddling for warmth on the top step of the Buttercross 

Sitting on the benches by the s at the riverside 

Counting down the hours for the buses 'cause I missed my ride

There's something about coming back to your hometown again 

The place where you grew up and where you found your firmest friends 

And though none of them still live here and I've got nowhere to go 

I'm a Wessex boy, a Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm home 

And one day I will hear this song, anonymous and sweet 

Ringing out from a buskers guitar in the ancient city streets 

I'll buzz a while and smile before I continue on along 

And somebody else will sing the words and I'll feel like I'm home 

There's something about hometowns you never can escape 

The triumphs and the tragedies [Incomprehensible] 

The welling of nostalgia and the feeling's kind of strange 

'Cause despite the little changes, yeah, this place still feels the same
