You Woke up My Neighbourhood

As I wait for sleep to drag me under In the evening gloom I sit and wonder The words I should have said to you The things I always meant to do The bad dreams that all came true [Chorus] You woke up my neighborhood Night after night we would row You woke up my neighborhood Things are pretty quiet round here now When I think of how we were together I know we couldn't be like that for ever Beneath the Seven Sister stars The night we let it go too far I slept out in the car [Chorus] I remember skipping on the porch till it grew cold I remember feeling like I was eight years old Somersaults across the lawn Singing dancing up till dawn Every now and then we'd have a row You woke up my neighborhood Things are pretty quiet round here now [Chorus] --- You Woke up My Neighbourhood - Billy Bragg
