"Home To Us (Flip Mix)" lyrics

The place we used to live in, you could say it wasn't much
But it was home to us
And you could be forgiven if you thought that it was rough
But it was home to us
The roses in the yard began to wilt, and then they turned to dust
But it was home to us

We didn't worry where the road was going to take us to
There wasn't time to make a fuss 'cause that was all we knew
The world around us wasn't safe, the place was falling down
But it was my hometown
And it was home to us

The lady on the hill was drinking brandy
Eating caviar, the perfect host
My mum was in the kitchen washing dishes in the sink
And then she burnt the toast
The kids are in the alley playing ball until the sun goes down
But that was my hometown
And it was home to us

We didn't worry where the road was going to lead us to
There wasn't time to make a fuss 'cause that was all we knew
The world around us wasn't safe, the place was falling down
But that was my hometown (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And it was all I knew
'Cause it was home to us

The place we used to play was in the middle of the street
But it was home to us
And when the skies were grey, it didn't matter anyway
But it was home to us
The roses in the yard began to wilt, and then they turned to dust
But it was home to us
Yeah, it was home to us (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, it was home to us
