Song lyrics
There were these older kids at school
Who'd gone all the way to Somerset
Just to see Peter Gabriel's house,
Peter Gabriel from Genesis
The way they'd dressed,
The way their hair fell over their coat collars
It all happened because of music,
I wanted to know why
I couldn't go to Somerset on my own,
So I used Top of the Pops as my World Atlas
In 1974, I bought my first single,
From Woollies in Redhill
I started to memorise the charts,
To memorise the leagues
Tuesday lunchtime at 12:45,
Saturday afternoon at five o'clock
I didn't go to church, I didn't need to
Green and yellow Harvest`s, pink Pie`s,
Silver Bell`s and the strange and
Important sound of the synthesiser.
Over the border, I'm growing older,
Heaven only knows what's on it's way
Every single day, love is here to stay
[x2]
Kevin drove us to parties
In his Morris Minor
And there were boys, and there was booze,
And mock Tudor semis
And first kisses, and terrible chat up lines
But in the end,
The conversation always turned to music
I was in love, and I knew he loved me
Because he made me a tape
I played it in my bedroom,
I lived in my bedroom, all of us did
Reading Smash Hits and Record Mirror,
Paul Morley and the NME,
Dave McCulloch and Sounds,
Modern Eon and Modern English
Mute, Why, Zoo, Factory
Cutting them up, sucking them in,
Managing the story on our own
Over the border, I'm growing older,
Heaven only knows what's on it's way
Every single day, love is here to stay
[x2]
I had my mocks a month later
But I just wanted to listen to Dexy's,
New Order, anything on Postcard
A few weeks and I'd be free
A few weeks and music wouldn't have to be
So private, it would be there for me
It would be there for me, and when I was married,
And when I had kids
Would Marc Bolan still be so important
Over the border, I'm growing older,
Heaven only knows what's on it's way
Every single day, love is here to stay
[x2]
