When I was ten I thought my brother was God
he'd lie in bed and turn out the light with a fishing rod.
I learned the names of all his football team,
and I still remembered them when I was nineteen.

Strange the things that I remember still
shouts from the playground when I was home and ill.
My sister taught me all that she learned there;
when we grew up, we said, we'd share a flat somewhere.

When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street.

Where I grew up there were no factories.
There was a school and shops and some fields and trees
Rows of houses one by one appeared.
I was born in one and lived there for eighteen years.

And when I was nineteen. I thought the Humber would be the gateway from my little world into the real world.

But there is no real world - we live side by side,
and sometimes collide.
When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street.

It was a little world;
I grew up in a little world.
