Round Here Lyrics - Patience - George Michael

My daddy got here on the gravy train 

I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game 

They went walking and she took his name 

Round here 

There was dancing in the afternoons those days 

Waiting tables, chasing girls with the money he made 

It was 1957, and love felt the same, love felt the same 

Frightened little girl, she makes a break 

Into the arms of' something better 

Round here 

I hear my mama call in Kingsbury Park 

Just me and David and a football that glowed in the dark 

Waiting patiently to make my mark 

Round here

And I remember my first day at school 

And I remember trouble, and thinking I was so cool 

I remember it all, like yesterday 

Don't you 

Every time I try to leave this place 

Something inside says, 'You can do better' 

Round here 

So come with me, let me show you where I've lived 

I want to put my hands in this earth again 

Music fell like rain to the streets 

The Specials and The Jam, to The Beat 

Even though I think I've seen everything there is to see of this world 

I gotta be thankful that this crowded space 

Is the place of my birth 

When all that I wanted, was to be someone.

Two little Hitlers in an old church hall 

Some cheesy covers and those neighbours that banged on the walls 

Andy says it's time to show them all 

Round here 

Please sir, we two have other plans 

Please sir you would not understand, 

What's going on 

Is magical, can't you see 

That some of us do more than dream 

Every time I try to leave this place 

Something inside says, 'Keep on keeping, on and on'.' 

Around here 

So come with me, let me show you where I've lived 

I want to put my hands in this earth again 

Music fell like rain to the streets 

The Specials and The Jam, ABC 

Even though I think I've seen everything there is to see of this world 

I gotta be thankful that this crowded space 

Is the place of my birth 

My birth, 

In this town, 

Yes I guess I got to be someone 

To be somebody 

In the Beautiful city 

This place I call home 

These streets of London 

It's everything I know (everything and everybody) 

On the streets of London 

I want to thank you 

My daddy got here on the gravy train.
