Oxford Street lyrics

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, aid I
Still remembered them when I was nineteen.
Strange the things deal 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
Grow up, we said, we'd share a flat somewhere.
When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street.
Where I grow up there were no factories. there was a school and shops and some
Fields and trees, and rows of houses one by one appeared. I was born in one and
Lived there for eighteen years.
Then when I was nineteen. I thought the Humber would be the gateway from my

Side, and sometimes collide. .
When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street. It was a little world; I grew
Up in a little world.
