lyrics

well i’m walking round to the piece of ground
where we used to go and play
there’d be grass and mud and sometimes blood
on our clothes at the end of the day
now there’s a big sign telling you you’d better beware
and cctv cameras everywhere
and i’m walking away from yesterday

well i’m walking back from the cul-de-sac
and the house my parents owned
it was all they ever dreamed of
worked their fingers to the bone
now the whole world’s stuck in some buy-to-let
and the landlord’s taking everything he can get
and i’m walking away from yesterday

oh, nothing stays the same
before you know it’s fading, fading away ...

there’s a time to keep your distance
a time for going home
a time for reminiscence
a time for moving on
a time to seek forgiveness
a time to steal away
and i’m walking away from yesterday
