Billy Bragg
"You Woke Up My Neighbourhood"


As I wait for sleep to drag me under
In the evening gloom I sit and wonder
The words I should have said to you
The things I always meant to do
The bad dreams that all came true

You woke up my neighborhood
Night after night we would row
You woke up my neighborhood
Things are pretty quiet 'round here now

When I think of how we were together
No, we couldn't be like that forever
Beneath the Seven Sister stars
The night we let it go too far
I slept out in the car

You woke up my neighborhood
Night after night we would row
You woke up my neighborhood
Things are pretty quiet 'round here now
Lyrics
I remember skipping on the porch 'til it grew cold
I remember feeling like I was eight years old
Summersaults across the lawn
Singing dancing up 'til dawn
Every now and then we have a row

You woke up my neighborhood
Things are pretty quiet 'round here now
You woke up my neighborhood
Night after night we would row
You woke up my neighborhood
Things are pretty quiet 'round here now
You woke up my neighborhood
Night after night we would row
You woke up my neighborhood
Things are pretty quiet 'round here now
around here now
