about

It's true, you can never go home again. But it can come to you.

lyrics

Here comes the peanut gallery walking down slow
They always seem to be the last to know
Crossing the street at Kirkham homeward we go
Pull into driveway under sunset's glow

This place now lives in the land of dreams
Its mortar's mixed from memories
It's a bleeding paradox from rear to front
'Cause you can't go home if you want

Lying in bed in London dreaming of you
Swimming in pints of ale you still showed through
Oceans and continents won't obscure the view
You just close your eyes and it comes true

This place now lives in the land of dreams
Its mortar's mixed from memories
It's a bleeding paradox from stem to stern
'Cause there's no way you will return

Pack up all your belongings into a van
Drop you off somewhere else and there you stand
Every time I go driving Sappington Way
I see your smiling face, clear as day

This place now lives in the land of dreams
Its mortar's mixed from memories
It's a bleeding paradox from stem to stern
'Cause there's no way you will return
