When I was ten I thought my brother was God
            A5
He'd lie in bed, turn on the light with a fishing rod
E5           E5                 E5        E5
  I learned the names of all his football team
            A5             B5
And I still remembered them when I was nineteen
E5  E5  E5   A5   B5

E5           E5          E5        E5
Strange the things that I remember still
                A5
Shouts from the playground
                    B5
When I was home and ill
   E5      E5               E5           E5
My sister taught me all that she learned there
             A5
When we grew up, we said
             B5
We'd share a flat somewhere
A5  B5    A5 B5  A5  B5        A5
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
    E5   E5        E5      E5           A5        B5
The gateway from my little world into the real world
               E5    E5           E5       E5
But there's no real world, we live side by side
    A5            B5
And sometimes collide
When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street
It was a little world
I grew up in a little world
