Sovereign Light Cafe

I'm going back to a time when we owned 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 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

I will my bike off the train of the north train road

And look for saw you in molly lane

In every building in 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
