ADELE - HOMETOWN GLORY
I've Been Walking In The Same Way As I Did
Missing All The Cracks In The Pavement
And Tutting My Heel
And Strutting My Feet
Is There Anything I Can Do For You Dear
Is There Anyone I Can Call
No And Thank You Madam
I Ain't Lost
Just Wandering
Round My Hometown Memories Are Fresh
Round My Hometown
Ooh
The People I've Met Are The Wonders Of My World
Are The Wonders Of My World
Are The Wonders Of This World
Are The Wonders Now
I Like It In The City When The Air Is So Thick And Opaque
I Love To See Everybody In Short Skirts
Shorts And Shades
I Like It In The City When Two Worlds Collide
You Get The People And The Government
Everybody Taking Differen't Sides
Shows That We Ain't Gonna Stand Shit
Shows That We Are United
Shows That We Ain't Gonna Take It
Shows That We Ain't Gonna Stand Shit
Shows That We Are United
Round My Hometown Memories Are Fresh
Round My Hometown
Ooh
The People I've Met
Yeah
Doo
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
Yeah
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Are The Wonders Of My World
Are The Wonders Of My World
Are The Wonders Of My World
Are The Wonders Of My World
Of My World
Yeah
Of My World
Of My World
Yeah
