Lyrics
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, aid i Still remembered them when I was nineteen Strange the things deal 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 Grow up, we said, we'd share a flat somewhere When I was seventeen, london meant oxford street Where I grow up there were no factories. there was a school and shops and some Fields and trees, and rows of houses one by one appeared. I was born in one and Lived there for eighteen years 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
