Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 121



Today is Friday, the 21st of August, 2020.

I had a rule. Well not a very old one, quite new in fact, only a few posts old. And I am breaking this rule already. Does anybody care? Does anybody care that this post should have been posted at 09:08 p.m. - post meridiem. Post meridiem is better than post mortem. And nobody cares. As usual ...



"Going Back To Bromford"

When I was a little boy
I was so shy and resolute
Someone knocking at the front door
I'd go and hide in my room
And if you call me on the telephone
I wouldn't wanna talk with you
Yeah, when I was a little boy
I was so shy and resolute

And when I was 17
I felt like I had it all
I left school, I moved towns, I got a job
Working in a grocery store
I didn't wanna go too far
And I never really wanted more
Yeah, when I was 17
I felt like I had it all

Now I'm a little older
And I feel more like a man
Now I'm a little wiser
I can find my way back home again
I'm going back to Bromford
Where people know your name
I'm going back to Bromford
Where everything stays the same

Bromford don't change

And when I turned 26
Well, I just walked away
I think about it all the time
What if I had've stayed
But there's nothing that a man can do
To rewind his yesterdays
Yeah, when I turned 26
Well, I just walked away

Now I'm a little older
And I feel more like a man
Now I'm a little wiser
I can find my way back home again
I'm going back to Bromford
Where people know your name
I'm going back to Bromford
Where everything stays the same

I'm going back to Bromford
Where people know your name
I'm going back to Bromford
Where everything stays the same

(Iutro)
I'm going back to Bromford
Where people know your name
I'm going back to Bromford
Where everything stays the same
Bromford don't change
Bromford don't change
