I was born and raised on Alkali Row Well near there anyway It was no further than a stone's throw From the anger and the violence of the seafront set Where a shove at the bar means a punch in the face That's the currency they deal in I once said Hello to a girl that they knew Now the bruises are gradually healing
I was never one of them No I was never one of them I was never one of them Never never never ever one of them
Now I'm lost in some small town I'm lost somewhere in England Can't you see where I am now I'm lost somewhere in England
An angry young man once said to me I don't like your face I had to agree he was hitting me But I picked myself up and I said to him I'll run away yeah I'll run away And live to run another day I'll run away yeah I'll run away I'd love to fight you another day
I was never one of them
No I was never one of them I was never one of them Never never never ever one of them
Now I'm lost in some small town I'm lost somewhere in England Can't you see where I am now I'm lost somewhere in England
And night closes in on Isolationsville I think I'd like to escape but I don't think I ever will
I was born and raised on Alkali Row Well near there anyway It was no further than a stone's throw From the anger and the violence of the seafront set
I was never one of them No I was never one of them I was never one of them Never never never ever one of them
Now I'm lost in some small town I'm lost somewhere in England Can't you see where I am now I'm lost somewhere in England Night falls on a lonely town I'm lost somewhere in England But this is where I'm living now Lost somewhere in England...
