When I was ten I thought my brother was God
A9
He'd lie in bed, turn on the light with a fishing rod
E E/Eb E E/Eb
I learned the names of all his football team

And I still remembered them when I was nineteen

Shouts from the playground

When I was home and ill

My sister taught me all that she learned there

When we grew up, we said

We'd share a flat somewhere

When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street
Where I grew up there were no factories
There was a school and shops and some fields and trees
And rows of houses one by one appeared
I was born in one lived there for eighteen years
Then when I was nineteen
I thought the Humber would be
E E/Eb E E/Eb A9 Bsus4
The gateway from my little world into the real world
E E/Eb E E/Eb
But there's no real world, we live side by side
A9 Bsus4
And sometimes collide
When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street
It was a little world
I grew up in a little world
