Round Here Lyrics by George Michael

Patience

2004

[Verse 1]
My daddy got here on the gravy train
I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game
They went walkin' and she took his name 'round here
There was dancing in the afternoons those days
Waiting tables, chasing girls with the money he made
It was 1957, and love felt the same
Love felt the same

[Refrain]
Frightened little girl, she makes a break
Into the arms of somethin' better, yeah
'Round here

[Verse 2]
I hear my mama call in Kingsbury Park
Just me and David and a football that glowed in the dark
Waiting patiently to make my mark 'round here
And I remember my, my first day at school
And I remember trouble, and thinkin' I was so cool
I remember it all
(Oh, yeah) Like yesterday, don't you?

[Refrain]
Every time I try to leave this place
Somethin' inside says, "You can do better", yeah
'Round here

[Chorus]
So come with me, yeah, yeah
Let me show you where I've lived
I want to put my hands in this earth again
Music fell like rain to the streets
The Specials and The Jam, to The Beat
Even though I think I've seen everythin' there is to see of this world
I gotta be thankful that this crowded space is the place of my birth
All that I wanted, was to be someone

[Verse 3]
Two little Hitlers in an old church hall
Some cheesy covers and those neighbours that banged on the walls
Andy says, "It's time to show them all" 'round here
"Please sir, we two have other plans
Please sir, you would not understand what's going on
Is magical, can't you see, yeah
That some of us do more than dream?"

[Refrain]
Every time I try to leave this place
Somethin' inside says
"Keep on, keepin' on, and on and on"
Around here

[Chorus]
So come with me, yeah, yeah
Let me show you where I've lived
I wanna put my hands on this earth again
Music fell like rain to the streets
The Specials and The Jam, ABC
Even though I think I've seen everythin' there is to see of this world
I gotta be thankful that this crowded space is the place of my birth

[Chorus]
My birth
In this town
Yes, I guess I got to be someone
To be somebody (Yeah!)
(To be somebody)
(B-B-B-Beautiful city)
In the beautiful city
This place I call home
These streets of London
It's everything I know (Everything and everybody)
On the streets of London
I want to thank you (Thank you)
I want to thank you
Thank you

[Outro]
Daddy got here on the gravy train
Daddy got here on the gravy train
Daddy got here on the gravy train
