Croydon - Lyrics - Captain Sensible

I attended Stanley Tech in South Norwood Hill I think it was, oh yeah where the bronze bust was nicked let me think, it must've been in my third year lying in wait outside Virgo Fidelis and the Lady Edridge Grammar School I worked at the Fairfield Halls cleaning toilets, but I understood some day I'd be back in my own right giving concerts in my own peculiar way but I kept my rabbit back at home and I cleaned it every other day (other day, other day, other day) and now the time has come to say farewell Dad with your sardines and the TV set that I blew and now the time has come to say farewell Mum to your baked beans and the poppadums I never knew I'll be in Los Angeles where the famous people never quite get old yeah, in Los Angeles where they're all to rich to even feel the cold but I'll still be dreaming of you Croydon especially in the cold and rain (cold and rain, cold and rain, cold and rain) and now the time has come to say I'll be leaving Croydon way to the lovely town I once knew and now the time has come to say I'll be back another day saying sod LA, what a day what a day what a day what a day what a day
