Lyrics
The sun that filled that room
The colour of the wheat
A picture window looked out
On life in Broad Street
Some summer night it rocked
In red and white and blue
I looked out at the village
The Queen waved too
Warm air smelled of ale
Sound of dancing feet
The joy that filled the air yeah
Of life in Broad Street
When Autumn came along
The darkness and the chill
I never thought of leaving
Just standing still
The guys were in the backyard
Each one in a seat
And carried to the hill to burn
Up from their feet
Pudding stones on bowling greens
A place to call our own
A countryside to wonder
Was this our home
Standing on the back seat playing away
Like a chariot through the lanes that day
Twenty B&H, five pounds of four star for
Cross country journeys way too far
In those white winter days
When snowdrifts grew higher
You'd find me in the shed chopping
Logs for the fire
Life could be so simple
Every day the same
Now it feels so distant
Century away
Glimpses of the future
A synth and laser beam
Means nothing lasts forever
Becomes a dream
Springtime brings the changes
It's just a case of when
A war began and I was left
Behind again
Another time was ended
The past is in retreat
I had to say goodbye now
Goodbye to Broad Street
I ran a race to finish
A last hurrah or so
Got to the end and told to get
In the car and go
Another time had ended
The past is in retreat
Time to say goodbye now
Goodbye to Broad Street
