Oxford Street

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was ten, I thought my brother was God He'd lie in bed and turn out the light with a fishing rod I learned the names of all his football team And I still remembered them when I was nineteen, yeah [Verse 2] Strange the things that I remember still Shouts from the playground when I was home and ill My sister taught me all that she learned there When we grew up, we said, we'd share a flat somewhere [Chorus] When I was seventeen London meant Oxford Street [Verse 3] Where I grew up there were no factories There was a school and shops and some fields and trees Rows of houses one by one appeared I was born in one and lived there for eighteen years [Chorus] Then when I was nineteen I thought the Humber would be The gateway from my little world Into the real world But there is no real world We live side by side and sometimes collide When I was seventeen London meant Oxford Street It was a little world I grew up in a little world There is no real world We live side by side and sometimes collide, yeah
