I people-watch on the way back home
Envious of the glimmer of hope
Gives me a break from feeling alone
Gives me a moment out of the ego
I used to feel so invincible
I used to feel there was a world worth dreamin' of
Back in the Gasworks, screamin' the song
Just the beauty of youth would quell my aching heart
Oh, I feel so dark rememberin'
Oh, my heart, I feel so dark rememberin'
I people-watch on the way back home
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin'
Under the billboards, out of the heat
Somebody's darling's on the street tonight
Oh, I can't stop runnin'
I see the whole town fall
I people-watch on the way back home
I people-watch on the way back home
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
I came back home after seven years
Wide awake, tracing tracks of her tears
Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it
I promised her I'd get her out of the care home
The place was fallin' to bits
Understaffed and overruled by callous hands
The poor nurse was around the clock
And the beauty of youth had left my breaking heart
But it wasn't hard when you love someone
Oh, I stayed all night 'til you left this life 'cause that's just love
I people-watch on the way back home
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin'
Under the billboards, out of the heat
Somebody's darling's on the street tonight
Oh, I can't stop runnin'
I see the whole town fall
I people-watch on the way back home
I people-watch on the way back home
I people-watch on the way back home
I people-watch on the way back home
I people-watch on the way back home
I people-watch on the way back home
Above the rain-soaked Garden of Remembrance
Katie wakes, let's draw initials in the sky
Oh, I fear for this crippled island and the turmoil of the times
And I'll hold you in my heart 'til the day I die, oh
I people-watch on the way back home
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin'
Under the billboards, out of the heat
Somebody's darling's on the street tonight
Oh, I can't stop runnin'
I see the whole town fall
I people-watch on the way back home
I people-watch on the way back home
I people-watch on the way back home
I people-watch on the way back home
I people-watch on the way back home
I people-watch on the way back home
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

I am hearing Brandon Flowers of the Killers. Nice song!

This has a "80's movie soundtrack" feel to me.  Are we sure this didn't come from Footloose?

Sounds like "The War on Drugs" with a better, younger vocalist. Great song.



Mm, a strident, soulless, less interesting version of WoD.

Nice how RP is a perfect mix between new and older stuff, always making me know new artists. In this case, playing a song from an album that will be released next year, so it's actually from the future!

Wow, great point.  I was thinking it sounded Springstein-ish!

Nice upbeat number.  Would anyone be surprised that Adam Granduciel from The War on Drugs co-produced this song?

I heard the first bars and wanted to comment it sounds like the War on drugs 👍 and that's a good thing.

And great lyrics!

Another great song by Sam Fender that should be added: Aye! Yes that's the name.

Pretty good. I hear some "War on Drugs" influence.
