Lyrics
0:13I people watch on the way back home
0:17Envious of the glimmer of hope
0:19Gives me a break from feeling alone
0:22Gives me a moment out of the ego
0:25I used to feel so invincible
0:28I used to feel there was a world worth dreamin' of
0:31Back in the Gasworks screamin' the song
0:34Just the beauty of youth would quell my aching heart
0:39Oh I feel so dark rememberin'
0:49I people watch on the way back home
0:52Everybody on the treadmill runnin'
0:55Under the billboards out of the heat
0:58Somebody's darlings on the street tonight
1:02Oh I can't stop runnin'
1:05I see the whole town fall
1:07I people watch on the way back home
1:10I people watch on the way back home
1:13I came back home after seven years
1:16Wide awake tracing tracks of her tears
1:19Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it
1:22I promised her I'd get her out of the care home
1:25The place was fallin' to bits
1:28Understaffed and overruled by callous hands
1:31The poor nurse was around the clock
1:34And the beauty of youth had left my breaking heart
1:39But it wasn't hard when you love someone
1:48Oh I stayed all night till you left this life that's just love
2:01I people watch on the way back home
2:04Everybody on the treadmill runnin'
2:07Under the billboards out of the heat
2:10Somebody's darlings on the street tonight
2:13Oh I can't stop runnin'
2:16I see the whole town fall
2:18I people watch on the way back home
2:21I people watch on the way back home
2:36Above the rain soaked Garden of Remembrance
2:41Kittiwakes etched your initials in the sky
2:48I fear for this crippled island and the turmoil of the times
2:54And I hold you in my heart till the day I die
3:00I people watch on the way back home
3:03Everybody on the treadmill runnin'
3:06Under the billboards out of the heat
3:09Somebody's darlings on the street tonight
3:13Oh I can't stop runnin'
3:16I see the whole town fall
3:18I people watch on the way back home
3:21I people watch on the way back home
3:30I people watch on the way back home
3:33I people watch on the way back home
I people watch on the way back home Envious of the glimmer of hope Gives me a break from feeling alone Gives me a moment out of the ego I used to feel so invincible I used to feel there was a world worth dreamin' of Back in the Gasworks screamin' the song Just the beauty of youth would quell my aching heart Oh I feel so dark rememberin' I people watch on the way back home Everybody on the treadmill runnin' Under the billboards out of the heat Somebody's darlings on the street tonight Oh I can't stop runnin' I see the whole town fall I people watch on the way back home I people watch on the way back home I came back home after seven years Wide awake tracing tracks of her tears Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it I promised her I'd get her out of the care home The place was fallin' to bits Understaffed and overruled by callous hands The poor nurse was around the clock And the beauty of youth had left my breaking heart But it wasn't hard when you love someone Oh I stayed all night till you left this life that's just love I people watch on the way back home Everybody on the treadmill runnin' Under the billboards out of the heat Somebody's darlings on the street tonight Oh I can't stop runnin' I see the whole town fall I people watch on the way back home I people watch on the way back home Above the rain soaked Garden of Remembrance Kittiwakes etched your initials in the sky I fear for this crippled island and the turmoil of the times And I hold you in my heart till the day I die I people watch on the way back home Everybody on the treadmill runnin' Under the billboards out of the heat Somebody's darlings on the street tonight Oh I can't stop runnin' I see the whole town fall I people watch on the way back home I people watch on the way back home I people watch on the way back home I people watch on the way back home
