Lyrics: When I learnt that I could drive I began to roam Threw my bag over my shoulder In search of a better home. Well I went north and I went south Looking for a place to say And I had some great times On my way. I rolled in to a town I remember like yesterday And they said "Won't you come on in For a place to stay"? I stopped driving for a while This country long and wide And though I had a great time I really must confide. As I was sat there passing time I began to see This old town ain't so bad But it's the Midlands for me. I've been up and down my friend But it just ain't the same That's why I'm always coming back To the Midlands again. Liverpool ain't my kind of thing York doesn't do it for me Give me Longbridge and Hall Green It's the Midlands for me. |
Info: I can't remember what prompted this song, but it was written during the time when we were very enthusiastic about being the "Lichfield Possee", and that the Midlands is the place to be. Wherever we went, we would always come back home to the Midlands again, ready for the next adventure. "Passing Time" is a reference to the song of the same name on the first album. Hall Green is where my girlfriend lives and Longbridge is where my sister and brother-in-law live. Despite the references I can't remember ever having visited Liverpool or York, though I'm sure they are both fine places (European capital of culture, no less). |
