I'm going back to a time when we own this town
Down powder mill lane in the battlegrounds
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns
I didn't know I was finding out
How I'd be torn from you
When we talked about things we were gonna do
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too
We go down to the rides on east parade by the lights
Of the palace arcade
And watch night coming down
On the sovereign light cafe
I'm begging you for some sign
But you still got nothing to say
Don't turn your back on me don't walk away
I'm a better man now than I was that day
Let's go down to the rides on east parade by the lights
Of the palace arcade
And watch night coming down
On the sovereign line cafe
Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
To take turns as the stars of the sovereign light cafe
I will my bike off the train of the north train road
And look for for you and molly lane
In every building and every street sign
Oh why did we ever go so far from the road
But you've got nothing to hide
You can't change who you really are
You can get a big house and a faster car
You can run away boy but you won't go far
Let's go down to the rides on east parade by the lights
Of the palace arcade
And watch night coming down
On the sovereign light cafe
Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
To take turns as the stars
Of the sovereign light cafe
Sha la la la la la di day
Yeah I'm going where the people know my name
