lyrics

Hillfoot Street

I used to work in a call centre,
now I work in a restaurant.
I just bring people menus,
and then they tell me what they want.
And my father said
I would never amount to much.

I barely made it through school -
it wasn’t worth all that attention to me.
And when they read out the names,
I know they’ll barely even mention me.
I never wanted that much,
I just want it to belong to me.

CHORUS:
On the late night buses all going home,
the faces lit white by mobile phones -
little broken hearts and broken bones…
But there’s a little brown door on Hillfoot Street
I call my own, call my own.

Me and my brothers and sisters,
we had to grow up so close.
We belonged to each other,
down to the ends of our fingers and toes.
And now we’re all scattered out
into lives of our own, I suppose.

CHORUS

Now I wash my clothes and I
hang them in my own back yard.
I don’t share that line with anyone else,
I don’t share that line with anyone else.
And people ask me -
is that not hard?

And when I think about love,
I wonder: who would look twice at me?
They say there’s someone for everyone.
Yeah… well, maybe I’m the only one for me.
Most nights I’m just happy
being my own company.

CHORUS
