Merseyside

In this city I can't tell what's hard work and what's hard rock All the big men in green vests make loud noise and a huge mess Oh it only feels real when I catch myself in the bus Waiting for the green man to hold my hand I'm just trying to get across Holding back my tears I'm trying not to cry Like ones that I've shed before But only this time It's a sense of love and pride For this new life Holding back my tears I'm trying not to cry Like ones that I've shed before But only this time It's a sense of love and pride For this new life All the charity shops are picked clean by people just barely out their teens And I'm writing for the first time in weeks Now I've something to say Finally And all the people they wanna talk to me Even when the sky is grey Which is great cos I can talk all day Walking bout in the day time Soaking up that new light! Holding back my tears I'm trying not to cry Like ones that I've shed before But only this time It's a sense of love and pride For this new life Holding back my tears I'm trying not to cry Like ones that I've shed before But only this time It's a sense of love and pride For this new life There hasn't been a day I havent heard my voice Im not talking to myself I'm seeing people by choice And everytime you turn a corner There's someone smiling at you And I take comfort in the fact There's someone three doors down Who's going through it too Who's going through it too Who's going through it too Holding back my tears I'm trying not to cry Like ones that I've shed before But only this time It's a sense of love and pride For this new life Holding back my tears I'm trying not to cry Like ones that I've shed before But only this time It's a sense of love and pride For this new life
