I Remember High Streets

I’ve got my late-night licence
I’m staying at yours, alright?
And somehow we’ll go swinging
Through the grey dawn mists of time
As hair gel stings my eyes
I remember high streets

I was never like the others
I was never them inside
But vodka neat kept me sweet
Girls’ school, drinking wine
And now I’m doing just fine
I remember high streets

A town that sings its secrets
To keep people in line
But I’ve been gone for ten long years
And I’m not scared of mine
I went west with the water
I crawled the county lines
And I saw our stolen future
In the flood plains of your eyes
So we settle this tonight
I said we settle this tonight
Cos I remember high streets
