'Cross the border, into the big bad world   Where it takes you 'bout an hour just to cross the road   Just to stumble across another poor old soul      From the dreary old lanes to the high-street madness   I fight with my brain to believe my eyes   And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness   That creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night      Life is good and the girls are gorgeous   Suddenly the air smells much greener now   And I'm wondering around with a half pack of cigarettes   Searching for the change that I've lost somehow      These streets have too many names for me   I'm used to Glen Field road   And spending my time down in Orchy   I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know      Where'd the days go? When all we did was play   And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all   Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall      From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square   You see millions of people with millions of cares   And I struggle to the train to make my way home   I look at the people as they sit there alone      Life is good and the sun is shining   Everybody flirts to their ideal place   And the children all smile as a boat shuffled by them   Trying to pretend that they've got some space      These streets have too many names for me   I'm used to Glen Field road   And spending my time down in Orchy   I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know      These streets have too many names for me   I'm used to Glen Field road   And spending my time down in Orchy   I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know      Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous   Suddenly the air smells much greener now   And I'm wondering around with a half pack of cigarettes   Searching for the change that I've lost somehow      These streets have too many names for me   I'm used to Glen Field road   And spending my time down in Orchy   I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know      These streets have too many names for me   I'm used to Glen Field road   And spending my time down in Orchy   I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know, I know, I know      'Cause you keep telling me so
