I’m going back to the time when we owned this town Down Down Powder Mill Lane and the battlegrounds We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns I didn’t know I was finding out how I’d be torn from you When we talked about things we were gonna do We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too We’d go down to the rides on east parade By the lights of the palace arcade And watch night coming down On the sovereign light cafe I’m begging you for some sign But you still got nothing to say Don’t turn your back on me, don’t walk away I’m a better man now than I was that day Let’s go down to the rides on east parade By the lights of the palace arcade And watch night coming down On the sovereign light cafe Let’s go down to the bandstand on the pier Watch the drums and the lovers appear To take turns As the stars Of the sovereign light cafe I wheel my bike off the train, Up the north trade road And look for you on marley lane In every building and every street sign Oh why did we ever go so far from home ? Well you’ve got nothing to hide, you come to change who you really are You can get a big house and a faster car You can run away boy but you won’t go far Yeah I’m going where the people know my name

you said it
another good song by this group the hell with the critics
this band is amazing I love all their musics
this is just amazing
heard this for the 1st time today..superb choon
brought a tear to my eye! have lived in this area all my life.so nice to know the boys havent forgot they,re roots!!!!
Fuck critics logic.
if god exists, his (or her?) favourite band must be Keane. i am pretty sure about it.
keane is alive, so,stop to insult it…!
who cares what critics say… music is such a diverse thing that critics shouldn’t even exist
what lyrics my goodness. something like no poet has ever written!
haha super like man!!!
Drunks and lovers
I think it’s obligatory! Both are great.
This song (lyrics) reminds me when I was young growing up in my town feeling invincible one of the best songs Keane has made plus the album is fantastic worth every penny well done Keane
I don’t get the whole Keane v. Coldplay thing. Aren’t people allowed to like both?
These so called ‘experts’ should shut up and enjoy the music. Come on, night train was horrible and strangeland is ‘a step backwards’? I don’t get it!
you’re right, the critics are fucking idiots. They keep putting down great bands and albums because they’re paid to be elitist snobs! The hell with them! If the anyone actually listened to the critics, great bands like Keane and Coldplay wouldn’t be here today….good riddance to the “experts”!!
Hey, do one thing — never care what others have to say, because you, inside, know exactly what true, sublime music is. Keane is definitely one of the greatest artists alive, and he did NOT disappoint with this album.
best song eVAAAAAAAARRRR!
This is a good song, but not very strong for a single release.
Oh, God. That’s beautiful.
Coldplay would be better if Chris Martin stopped yawning and singing simultaneously
just kidding…
Incredible song
I started listening to Keane because it came up on Pandora radio while I was listening to Coldplay. So I guess I also owe it to Coldplay.
