Lyrics

gypsy boy turned in
to a man.
burned the wheels off of his old grey pram.
as he looked round for the matches.
what shawn around the hall.
as he stood down by the station. the train began to crawl.
he didnt realise the conversation was splattered on th wall.
and how how did it happen he ended with the blame. he didnt
realise the consequences of his fame.
and its an open nowhere
when your calling my name.
and its an open nowhere could have been the same same same.
and its an open nowhere when yor calling my name. and its an open nowhere could have been the same same same.
as we played down on the corner shaded by the broken home. we never looked round or gave a thought to the streets around us falling down. theres no noise now no confrontation the memorys refuse to fall. old man money has left the town now as the bricks begin to tumble down.
but how how did it happen we ended with the blame. he didnt realise the consequenses of his fame. and its an open nowhere when your calling my name. and its an open nowhere
could it be the same same same.
because you tried to destroy my name and you lied could it be the same same same same same. oh holding on theres a light in my life gonna shine on down. oh holding back did you know the tears on my face aint gonna crumble down.
and its an open nowhere when your calling my name and its an open nowhere could it be the same same same same .....
