lyrics

I got the wrong bus and as I went by St Cath's
And Sledgehammer came on in my ears
The opening notes brought a lump to my throat
And memories to flood back through the yeras
Of Karl, Paul and Sian, Our Richard and Allan
9 or 10 years old at the time
So I got off the bus and I went to the top
Of a place I've not seen in such a while

Our old stomping ground
Up by Yvonne's Discount
And the Video Shop "License to Thrill"
This small patch of land
Was a mountain to defend
For The Boys And Girl of Dacre Hill

I think I had forgotten all the things that we got up to
And I probably can't remember them all
Just skateboards, shins and scuffles, Raspberry Ruffles
Temp Tattoos grazed off by a fall

Our old stomping ground
Up by Yvonne's Discount
And the Video Shop "License to Thrill"
This small patch of land
Was a mountain to defend
For The Boys And Girl of Dacre Hill

Nostalgia's seductive
It's a trap and it's reductive
To look back with rose tinted glasses but still
I wonder where you all are
Now we're all 30 years older
The Boys And Girl Of Dacre Hill
