lyrics

I was four, maybe five
The first time I arrived
At the three-bedroom flat
On Eleanor Drive

If I had a word for shitty
If I knew the meaning of pity
Would it have changed all of that;
Would I still be in this city?

I ruled the Eleanor paths
My banana-seat schwinn kicked your ass
Even if it was
A rusty hand-me-down

I was the jack to your jill
Racing through the ‘80’s, down that hill
Latch-key royalty of Eleanor
We were crowned forever more

I broke glass
Just to hear it smash
Just to see it shatter
A million refractions in the grass

We were broke, not broken
Your words softly spoken
All that chitter-chatter
Is now in the past

I ruled the Eleanor paths
My banana-seat schwinn kicked your ass
Even if it was
A rusty hand-me-down

I was the jack to your jill
Racing through the ‘80’s, down that hill
Latch-key royalty of Eleanor
We were crowned forever more
