I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all
These streets have too many names for me
From the dreary old lanes to the high-street madness
I'm used to Glen Field road
'Cross the border, into the big bad world
And I'm wondering around with a half pack of cigarettes
I'm used to Glen Field road
Searching for the change that I've lost somehow
And spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know, I know, I know
From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square
These streets have too many names for me
And spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
I look at the people as they sit there alone
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
Life is good and the sun is shining
These streets have too many names for me
And I'm wondering around with a half pack of cigarettes
'Cause you keep telling me so
These streets have too many names for me
And I struggle to the train to make my way home
That creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
I'm used to Glen Field road
Where'd the days go? When all we did was play
I'm used to Glen Field road
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
These streets have too many names for me

I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
You see millions of people with millions of cares
Everybody flirts to their ideal place
And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness
I'm used to Glen Field road
Searching for the change that I've lost somehow
Just to stumble across another poor old soul
And spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
And spending my time down in Orchy
Where it takes you 'bout an hour just to cross the road
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall
Life is good and the girls are gorgeous
And the children all smile as a boat shuffled by them
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous
Trying to pretend that they've got some space
And spending my time down in Orchy
