lyrics

When I think about all the places I used to live
I think of New Malden
It's the place where I was born
This is the place I lived
Where are the friends I played with?
I used to spend the summers in Beverly Park
I used to buy my records
At Kett's - by the roundabout
This is the place I lived
Where are the friends I played with?

I went back for a look just the other day
Where the sweetshop was
There's a chinese takeaway...

The place I used to live
Always reminds me of the simple things

I remember all the neighbours we used to know
The smell of the traffic
The sounds on the radio
This is the place I lived
Where are the friends I played with?
We used to walk together to the primary school
Scared of the teachers
That fed us the golden rule
This is the place I lived
Where are the friends I played with?

I went back for a look just the other day
Where the toy shop was
There's a chinese takeaway...

The place I used to live
Always reminds me of the simple things

I went back for a look just the other day
Where the post office was
There's a chinese takeaway...
Nothing remains of yesterday
Nobody stayed
Nothing looks the same

I went back for a look just the other day
Where the Co-op was
There's a chinese takeaway...

The place I used to live
Always reminds me of the simple things
