Lyrics:
Spent my early life in Liverpool
Something I'm not likely to forget
No, no, no
People blend with places
And faces that I know, but never met
Upstairs on the bus there sits a man
He's talking to himself, or so it seems
Listing names of old comedians
And laughing at 'em
Down the pierhead where the speakers meet
Each of them, his own imagined crowd
Giving us his version of the book
God has written
I spent my early life in Liverpool
Something I'm not likely to regret
No, no, no
People blend with places
And faces that I know, but never met
And in the street, before they built the road
Raising jam jars for a worthy cause or two
Prince the dog, with one eye to his name
Wants to follow
I spent my early life in Liverpool
Something I'm not likely to forget
People blend with faces
And places that I know, but never met
People blend with places
And faces that I know, but never met
Walking with the boys of Dungeon Lane
Aimlessly towards the cast iron shore
Swapping tales about the Chinese farm
And getting caught
Swapping tales about the Chinese farm
And getting caught
Down the sports field of the Institute
Lives Soft Sid, the harmless village fool
Greets the kids who pass the other side
Saying, "Hello, children"
I spent my early life in Liverpool
Something I'm not likely to forget
