lyrics

This is the town where I grew up
Where loving parents gave me food
Relentlessly I went to school that’s
Back past the ranks of B&Qs
The texas jewson homebases the tescos asdas sainsburys

And into town at half past four
The bus home every sixty minutes
The bus station that stinks of piss and
The central church the schoolkids torched
It’s thirty years since that burned down
And still nobody wants the land and

I saw the cranberries in Esquires
The Beatles came in 63
Lloyd Cole came once but wouldn’t play and
I can’t say that I really blame him
Grafitti for the national front
Fighting against the Polish club
Italian church and indian shops that
Shut up just before the pubs and

This is the town where I grew up
With its thirty thousand pubs
Twenty nine thousand fights
And fourteen hundred schoolkids chasing
Thirty-seven McJobs
With half of them in Wimpy
No gays one bookshop
And that’s where I grew up

This is the town where I used to hang out
We’d meet under Bunyan’s words
And we would drink Thunderbird
And wonder which was worse
And we’d always choose Bunyan
Yeah me and my six friends
No gays one bookshop
And that’s where I grew up

(Philip Buckley)

I ran Harriet Records between 1989 and 1998 out of Cambridge, MA. I released 10 CDs (most of which are available here) and 45 singles. There are 11 "new" releases so far, most recently the Coronets (London, ca 2000) and Kisswhistle (Pittsburgh). New releases next year by Chris Barickman, the Lookout Honeys, and a follow-up Ekphrastics CD!
