Scott Matthews - New Skin (Acoustic)

You have travelled second class 
on a British Rail train that goes too fast
through a grimey landscape of back-to-backs, 
derelict factories & chimney stacks.
You came to this town, you came to this town.

You've turned up all on your own 
with a diamond ring on the telephone.
Your best friend's waiting outside in the car
although the bus only takes a quarter of an hour.
You came to this town, you came to this town.

You've turned up out of the blue
without so much as a how do you do.
How do we recover all of the years?
We share a few laughs, we share a few beers.
You came to this town, you came to this town.

You conjure old memories
like the lady of love walking through the trees.
Do you remember a room full of stuff?
Do you remember a house full of love?
You came to this town, you came to this town.

You've told me about your life.
What you're doing in the nine-to-five.
Part-time work in a luxury store.
You know there's more to things,
you know there's more, there's more, there's more.
You came to this town, you came to this town.

Some days undone from the salt and earth,
Nonsense I hear you say,
A stitch in time

How's our Petey? 
Must be lovely having him again?
Keeps hitting home now and then for me

See you for Countdown,
We'll drop his grandad round on our way in

Here's to lost boys,
Here's to downing tools in the Endwood,
Just as we always would,
But this one's on me,
My jar tipped to sweet Mary,
Some days undone
