I Remember High Streets

I’ve got my late-night licence

I’m staying at yours, alright?

And somehow we’ll go swinging

Through the grey dawn mists of time

As hair gel stings my eyes

I remember high streets

I was never like the others

I was never them inside

But vodka neat kept me sweet

Girls’ school, drinking wine

And now I’m doing just fine

I remember high streets

A town that sings its secrets

To keep people in line

But I’ve been gone for ten long years

And I’m not scared of mine

I went west with the water

I crawled the county lines

And I saw our stolen future

In the flood plains of your eyes

So we settle this tonight

I said we settle this tonight

Cos I remember high streets
