You Woke up My Neighbourhood - Billy Bragg
As i wait for sleep to drag me under
In the evening gloom i sit and wonder
The words i should have said to you
The things i always meant to do
The bad dreams that all came true
Chorus:
You woke up my neighbourhood
Night after night we would row
You woke up my neighbourhood
Things are pretty quiet round here now
When i think of how we were together
I know we couldn't be like that for ever
Beneath the seven sister stars
The night we let it go too far
I slept out in the car
Chorus
I remember skipping on the porch tilll it grew cold
I remember feeling like i was eight years old
Somersaults across the lawn
Singing dancing up till dawn
Every now and then we'd have a row
You woke up my neighbourhood
Things are pretty quiet round here now
Chorus (repeat)
