Wessex Boy - Frank Turner

作词：Frank Turner/Nigel Powell

作曲：Frank Turner/Nigel Powell

Let me tell you all a little story of the things I've found

Hanging out and drinking

With my friends in the cathedral grounds

And later dodging drunks as we dance along jury street

As we wander up town to the railway our friends to meet

There's something about coming back to your hometown again

The place where you grew up

And where you found your firmest friends

And though none of them still live here

I've got nowhere to go

I'm a Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm home

Let me tell you all a little story of the things I've lost

Huddling for warmth on the top step of the butter cross

Sitting on the benches by the bridges at the riverside

Of counting down the hours for the buses

'Cause I missed my ride

There's something about coming back to your hometown again

The place where you grew up

And where you found your firmest friends

And though none of them still live here

I've got nowhere to go

I'm a Wessex boy

A Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm home

And one day I will hear this song anonymous and sweet

Ringing out from a buskers guitar

On the ancient city streets

'Cause while and smile

Before I continue on the land

And somebody else will sing the words

And I'll feel like I'm home

There's something about hometowns you never can escape

The triumphs and the tragedies and those of little faith

The welling of nostalgia and feeling kind of strange

'Cause despite the little changes

Yeah this place still feels the same

There's something about coming back to your hometown again

The place where you grew up

And where you found your firmest friends

And though none of them still live here

I've got nowhere to go

I'm a Wessex boy

I'm a Wessex boy and when I'm here I'm home
