Songtext Hometown Kula Shaker

Hometown

In my hometown all the buildings are empty
And the streets are paved with memories of my old life
My hometown, where I first saw you
My hometown, where I adored you
How we laughed at the questions that no one dares ask

I see a boy dressed in black
I hear a voice calling me back

My hometown, my hometown
Every day I'm thinking about my hometown
Tragedy, tyranny
Things ain't wot they used to be!

Every night I'm walking, walking back to my hometown
In my hometown, they survived the Blitzkrieg
And worked hard all day, from 8.30 to 5
In my hometown, never say never
In my hometown, for worse or for better
Till a tiny pinprick came and stole their life away

I see a boy dressed in black
I hear a voice calling me back

My hometown, my hometown
Everybody's dreaming in my hometown
Tragedy, tyranny
Things ain't wot they used to be!

Every night I'm walking, walking back to my hometown
My hometown, my hometown
There's something spooky about my hometown

Tragedy, tyranny, everybody's dreaming believing sleeping
Every day I'm thinking about my hometown
