alice zawadzki - china lane lyrics

the street stretches down between the pound store
and the william hill
and though i never walked you before
old memories spill
through the back door of my mind.
i stand there, fixed
see the ligh filter down
makes all the buildings in this town glow red and gold and mauve and brown.
you’re every person and every place
every feelings and every face i’ve ever known
captured in this moment between 4 and half past
and soon the sky will be overcast.
my whole life… in this manchester backstreet.
but i gotta be somewhere
you’ve always gotta be somewhere
we humans are slaves to our brains
we always take the same tired route home
when all we need is to follow our feet.
oh china lane, today you mean everything to me
your every street i never walked down, oh china lane.
i don’t know where you lead
and the sight of you plants the seed
of thinking of things i never did
i’m walking away
i guess i’ll have to come back another day
but by then i’ll be dead and gone
and all the things that could have been right
will now stay wrong
cos i’ve gotta be somewhere
you’ve always gotta be somewhere
we humans are slaves to our brains
we always take the same tired route home
when all we need is to follow our feet.
oh china lane, today you mean everything to me
you’re every street i never walked down, oh china lane.
you’re every man i’ve lost
you’re every way i’ve grown
you’re every face i love,
you’re everything i know!
you’re every boy i’ve kissed
you’re every friend i miss
you see my heart
every part.
