South London Lyrics by Alex the Astronaut

How to Grow a Sunflower Underwater

2022

[Verse 1]
South London lives inside my head
I grew a little bit there when I was a kid
I was small and rushing soccer falls in the mud
I loved sitting on the top of the big red buses
When the cold came in and the snow came with us
My little sister and I'd never seen winter
So we ran to the window we ran to the river
The grey, the green, the white
The cold ears
[Pre-Chorus]
Now, I'm standing here
I'm standing here
I'm standing herе
Go
[Chorus]
De-la doo, de-la-de-la-dе-la doo
De-la doo, de-la-de-la-de-la doo
De-la doo, de-la-de-la-de-la doo
De-la doo, de-la-de-la-de-la doo
[Verse 2]
And it smells the same
Tears warm my face
When you cry is it your soul hitting something greater?
When the train pulls up at the kings cross stop
I feel so much bigger my eyes adjust
And hey it's been too much its has been hurting lately
It's not all the same as I thought it would be
There's a dark side of London my parents tried to hide
But I remember seeing people sleeping outside
There was a murder on the bridge
And I stayed up scared of Jack the Ripper
I walked to the river
Down to the river
Remember, remember, remember, remember
[Pre-Chorus]
Go
[Chorus]
De-la doo, de-la-de-la-de-la doo
De-la doo, de-la-de-la-de-la doo
De-la doo, de-la-de-la-de-la doo
De-la doo, de-la-de-la-de-la doo
[Verse 3]
I go to our house and I stand outside
There's a different car sitting in our drive
I see my dad and we're riding our bikes
To the river but it's not real
There is another man so I walk away
Past the Tesco and the church bells
Where they prayed
Where they prayed
And Heathrow's calling, I've got to go
There's another place with another show
And I can't complain and that I know
But I'll be back soon I really hope
[Bridge]
And so much stays, so much changes
And so much stays, so much changes
And so much stays, so much changes
And so much stays, so much changes
And so much stays, so much changes
And so much stays, so much changes
And so much stays and so much changes
And so much stays and so much changes
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I'm standing here
I'm standing here
I'm standing here
Go
[Chorus]
De-la doo, de-la-de-la-de-la doo
De-la doo, de-la-de-la-de-la doo
De-la doo, de-la-de-la-de-la doo
De-la doo, de-la-de-la-de-la doo
