Welcome To Gravesend
Here's a song called WELCOME TO GRAVESEND by the quite average pop band called UNLUCKY FRIED KITTEN who are from the United Kingdom.
WELCOME TO GRAVESEND
People walking dogs in crumbling parts of town
Making conversation...spreading germs around
Children buying ice-cream from a foreign man
Somewhere in a back street...from a scruffy van
Lucy buys a postcard and scribbles a 'hello'
To a friend in Bolton...someone she used to know
A toddler in a high-chair spews Weetabix en-masse
Life goes on around me...and memories are crass
Two friends are in a cafe...Mary and Suzanne
Suzie had a little roast beef
Mary had a little lamb
A waitress took a snapshot and I forgot to smile
3 months is a long time...and memories are vile
A midwife parks illegally on a double yellow line
A traffic-warden sees her...and dishes out another fine
A little girl buys cat-food from a shop called Pets At Home
Life still goes on around me...on a mobile phone
Tarpaulin on some scaffolding is flapping in the breeze
Men fight inside a chip-shop...called The Seven Seas
An old lady spends her vouchers at the checkout with a friend
Huh
Is this what I wake up for?
Welcome To Gravesend
