Sovereign Light Cafe Lyrics - Strangeland - Keane

I'm going back to the time when we owned this town 

Down Powder Mill Lane, in 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 

And take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

I wheel my bike off the train 

Up the North Trade Road 

Look for you on Marley Lane 

In every building, every street sign 

Oh why did we ever go so far from home? 

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

And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café 

Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier 

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear 

And take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

Sha la la la la la ri re 

Yeah, I'm going where the people know my name.
