Told myself I wouldn't live around here After all that'd happened here But after all the rent's not dear With a friend of a friend of a friend so dear
There's the table where we wrote the play The greatest play never made A story of a heist and a getaway But the parts we played anyway
We built our bridges in this part of town In this part of town we burnt them down Who'd of thought we'd meet here now At the Anchor and the Crown
The nick in the wall where they missed my head They wanted us out, they wanted us dead I grabbed your arm, you kicked my legs And we laughed about it when we fell in bed
I saw my guitar in the hock shop After you said we had been robbed I had a little word to the pawn-broker And he had a little word about your eye-liner
We built our bridges in this part of town In this part of town we burnt them down Who'd of thought we'd meet here now At the Anchor and the Crown
Must I concede it was my fault too All those things I had you do While I sat and sank one or two At the back bar of the Crown
I recall our last words spoken "Wait here with the engine running!" The words I'd planned to spit in your face But bloody hell its good to see you again
We built or bridges in this part of town In this part of town we burnt them down Who'd of thought we'd meet here now At the Anchor and the Crown
Made our plans in January All went down in February Sat around March and April May, June, July too Doing time August, September Nevermind October, November Drinking house wine in December At the Anchor and the Crown
