lyrics

There really isn't very much to do
In this town where I grew up that I can't stand
I cannot wait to leave
But yet I still believe
That this towns made me who I really am.

The woman at the offie really hates me
But nowhere near the level that my boss
Despises what I think
And that I always ring in sick
But without these broken streets well I'd be lost.

This town might be small
But oh well so am I,
This county's made of concrete
And I'm stuck until I die,
Though I know I won't find better friends
Anywhere around,
Ive laid my roots and grown them in this town.

Well I grew up on cereal and tv
At weekends whilst my mum was working nights
There was nowhere else to go
In this town I've grown to know
Kids would pass the time by starting fights

born into this town I don't belong in
I don't wear adidas or even watch the sport
All my friends
well, almost of them
Spent all their teenage years going to court.

I might complain about my home and where I'm from
But most of all the places in this town I bloody love
I'm always in the ship and drinking far too much to stand
And this place I know has made me who I am.
And I wouldn't change the people if they paid me
Even if some of them are shits
Grays might not be upper class
But at least we're not all up our arse
Oh good god I love this place to bits.
