Round Here
George Michael Lyrics

My daddy got here on the gravy train
My father came to this town with a lot of money and privileges.

I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game. They went walking and she took his name. Round here.
My mother had a tough start but finally found love and took my father's name. This is where I was born and raised.

There was dancing in the afternoons those days, waiting tables, chasing girls with the money he made. It was 1957, and love felt the same, love felt the same.
Back then, people would spend their days dancing, working to earn some cash, and chasing love. It was a simpler time, yet love and emotion felt the same as they do now.

Frightened little girl, she makes a break Into the arms of, something better Round here.
A scared girl like my mother found her escape here and her true love in this town.

I hear my mama call in Kingsbury Park. Just me and David and a football that glowed in the dark, waiting patiently to make my mark. Round here.
I have fond memories of playing football with my friend David in Kingsbury Park, waiting for my moment to shine in this town.

And I remember my first day at school. And I remember trouble, and thinking I was so cool. I remember it all, like yesterday. Don't you?
I can still recall every detail of my first day at school, the problems I encountered, and how proud I was of being there. Do you have memories like that too?

Every time I try to leave this place Something inside says, 'You can do better' Round here.
Whenever I think of leaving this town, I feel like there's something more for me here. Maybe, if I stay here longer, I can find it.

So come with me, let me show you where I've lived. I want to put my hands in this earth again. Music fell like rain to the streets. The Specials and The Jam, to The Beat. Even though I think I've seen everything there is to see of this world, I gotta be thankful that this crowded space Is the place of my birth.
I want to take you around my town and show you my roots, where I grew up from. The music on the streets was like a part of life back then. Although I have experienced a lot of things in life, I am grateful for being born and raised in this place.

Two little Hitlers in an old church hall. Some cheesy covers and those neighbors that banged on the walls. Andy says it's time to show them all. Round here.
In our small town, we used to play music in old church halls and would try to perform cheesy covers. But one of our friends, Andy, believed in us and encouraged us to keep going and show everyone our talent.

Please sir, we two have other plans. Please sir, you would not understand, what's going on. Is magical, can't you see that some of us do more than dream.
We have unique plans for our future that we don't want others to know about. It's a special feeling, and not everyone can see it. We are not just dreaming; we are paving our own path.

Every time I try to leave this place Something inside says, 'Keep on keeping, on and on....' Around here.
Whenever I think of leaving, something tells me to persevere and keep going no matter what struggles I face because it will be worth it in the end. This feeling is unique to this small town.

So come with me, let me show you where I've lived. I want to put my hands in this earth again. Music fell like rain to the streets. The Specials and The Jam, ABC. Even though I think I've seen everything there is to see of this world, I gotta be thankful that this crowded space Is the place of my birth.
I want to take you around my town and show you where I grew up from. The music on the streets was like a part of life back then. Although I have experienced a lot of things in life, I am grateful for being born and raised in this place.

My birth, In this town, Yes, I guess I got to be someone, to be somebody, in the Beautiful city. This place I call home. These streets of London. It's everything I know (everything and everybody) On the streets of London. I want to thank you.
Being born and raised in this town gave me the opportunities to become somebody in a big, bustling city like London. But, even though London has a lot to offer, nothing can replace the memories I have growing up in this town. Thank you.
