Lyrics

Hometown Glory

I've been walking in the same way as I did

Missing all the cracks in the pavement

And tutting my heel and strutting my feet

Is there anything I can do for you, dear?

Is there anyone I could call?

No and thank you, please madame

I ain't lost, just wandering

'Round my hometown

Memories are fresh

'Round my hometown

Ooh, the people I've met

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of this world

Are the wonders now

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque

I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades

I like it in the city when two worlds collide

You get the people and the government

Everybody taking different sides

Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit

Shows that we are united

Shows that we ain't gonna take it

Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit

Shows that we are united

'Round my hometown

Memories are fresh

'Round my hometown

Ooh, the people I've met

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of this world

Are the wonders of my world

Of my world, yeah

Of my world

Of my world, yeah
