Sovereign Light Café - Keane, Afrojack

I’m going back to a time when we owned this town

Down Powdermill Lane and the battlegrounds

We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns

I didn’t know I was finding out how I’d be torn from you

When we talked about things we were gonna do We were wide-eyed dreamers and wiser too

We’d go down to the rides on East Parade

By the lights of the Palace Arcade

And watch night coming down

On the Sovereign Light Café

I’m begging you for some sign

But you’ve still got nothing to say

Don’t turn your back on me, don’t walk away

I’m a better man now than I was that day

Let’s go down to the rides on East Parade

By the lights of the Palace Arcade

And watch night coming down

On the Sovereign Light Café

Let’s go down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear

To take turns as the stars

Of the Sovereign Light Café

I wheel my bike off the train

Up the North Trade Road

And look for you in Marley Lane

In every building, every street sign

Oh why did we ever go so far from home?

Well you’ve got nothing to hide

You can’t change who you really are

You can get a big house and a faster car

You can run away boy, but you won’t go far

Let’s go down to the rides on East Parade

By the lights of the Palace Arcade

And watch night coming down

On the Sovereign Light Café

Let’s go down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear

To take turns as the stars

Of the Sovereign Light Café

Sha-la-la-la-la la-de-day

Yeah I’m going where the people know my name
