And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
These streets have too many names for me
And I struggle to the train to make my way home
I'm used to Glen Field road
And spending my time down in Orchy
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
Songwriters: Sarah Ruth Erasmus, Paolo Giovanni Nutini, Peter Geoffrey Wilkinson
That creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night
Where'd the days go? When all we did was play
Trying to pretend that they've got some space
Where it takes you 'bout an hour just to cross the road
Everybody flirts to their ideal place
I look at the people as they sit there alone
These streets have too many names for me
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
I'm used to Glen Field road
And spending my time down in Orchy
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous
Searching for the change that I've lost somehow
And the children all smile as a boat shuffled by them
From the dreary old lanes to the high-street madness
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall
You see millions of people with millions of cares
These streets have too many names for me
And I'm wondering around with a half pack of cigarettes
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all
I'm used to Glen Field road
Searching for the change that I've lost somehow
From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square
Life is good and the girls are gorgeous
And spending my time down in Orchy
And spending my time down in Orchy
And spending my time down in Orchy
These streets have too many names for me
And I'm wondering around with a half pack of cigarettes
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
I'm used to Glen Field road
'Cross the border, into the big bad world
I'm used to Glen Field road
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
These streets have too many names for me
'Cause you keep telling me so
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know, I know, I know
Life is good and the sun is shining
Just to stumble across another poor old soul
