You Woke Up my Neighbourhood - Billy Bragg, Peter Buck


    As I wait for sleep to drag me under
    In the evening gloom I sit and wonder
    The words I should have said to you
    The things I always meant to do
    The bad dreams that all came true

    You woke up my neighbourhood
    Night after night we would row
    You woke up my neighbourhood
    Things and pretty quiet round here now

    When I think of how we were together
    I know we couldn't be like that forever
    Beneath the Seven Sister stars
    The night we let it go too far
    I slept out in the car

    You woke up my neighbourhood
    Night after night we would row
    You woke up my neighbourhood
    Things and pretty quiet round here now

    I remember skipping on the porch till it grew cold
    I remember feeling like I was eight years old

    Somersaults across the lawn
    Singing dancing up till dawn
    Every now and then we'd have a row
    You woke up my neighbourhood
    Things and pretty quiet round here now

    You woke up my neighbourhood
    Night after night we would row
    You woke up my neighbourhood
    Things and pretty quiet round here now

    (repeat)
