I grew up on the north side of the river
Cobbled streets all wet with rain
I grew up in the shadows of the shipyard
With rows of houses all the same
Elvis recorded "It's Now or Never"
In the year I first took a breath
Some things I remember
Lord I wish I could forget.
There will be better times
A light to guide A star to shine
No chains to bind us
You're not alone
George once was a soldier
When he was just a boy
Straight from school in Liverpool
To fight on foreign shores
I tell you it don't take too long
To fast become a man
When your enemies surrender
Grenade's hidden in their hands.
There will be better times
A light to guide A star to shine
No chains to bind us
You're not alone
My grandfather and I used to go a walking
Sixty eight out and along New Brighton Pier
A decade long now he's been gone
I've seen so many good things disappear
Yes I grew up on the north side of the river
With rows of houses all the same
Where broken hearts always surrender
In the tall shadows of the cranes
The ghosts they call me from way back when
In sleep they call my name
I can hear the echoes of their footsteps
On the cobbled streets all wet with rain.
There will be better times
A light to guide A star to shine
No chains to bind us
You're not alone
