Hometown One

(album: How Good It Was - 2014)

Do the streets light up as you grace them?
Do the birds sing your b-sides as you walk by?
Do you get preferential treatments from taxi drivers?
Do you find it hard fighting off admirers?

Oh my hometown one
Where've you been hiding all my life?
Oh my hometown one
Where've you been hiding all my life?

I looked up from a dull grey Monday
A flash of your red dress cuts through the masses
You've got perfect skin
That would make a Lankan model blush
This world is your canvas
My darling, you are the brush

Oh my hometown one
Where've you been hiding all my life?
Oh my hometown one
Where've you been hiding all my life?

A little leather jacket
Look you're never gonna find
Another one like you
Likes me like you like me
I wish you would see how good this could be

Oh my hometown one
Where've you been hiding all my life?
Oh my hometown one
Where've you been hiding all my life?
