I've been walking in the same way as I did

Missing out the cracks in the pavement

And tutting my heel and strutting my feet

Is there anything I can do for you dear?

Is there anyone I could call?

No and thank you please madame

I ain't lost just wandering



Round my hometown

Memories are fresh

Round my hometown

Oh the people I've met

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of this world

Are the wonders now



I like it in the city

When the air is so thick and opaque

I love to see everybody in short skirts

shorts and shades

I like it in the city when two worlds collide

You get the people and the government

Everybody taking different sides



Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit

Shows that we are united

Shows that we ain't gonna take it

Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit

Shows that we are united



Round my hometown

Memories are fresh

Round my hometown

Oh the people I've met



Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonder of this world

Are the wonders of my world
