The Street
By Shoot The Crow
VERSE 1: Do
you remember Freeman Street on Saturdays?
Mothers down the market and you father worked half days
Those were the days when Cairnsy played for Grimsby Town
Meeting in the White Bear and a walk down to the ground
CHORUS: But
that was then and its not now
But that was then and its not now
No, no, no,-oh
It's not now, It's not now
VERSE 2: Going
to the movies for the Yankee matinee
Sneaking through the back door so we didn't have to pay
See the girl on Riby Square, they're calling out your name
The shadow of Dock Tower and the lumpers in the rain
BRIDGE: But then
they changed our world
The Bullring came down
They built a soul - less place
Run Freemo to the ground.....to the ground...to the ground
VERSE 3: Barrow
boys from the pontoon say they're gagging for a pint
Georgie Sampson' in the weillie looking for a fight
Party girls from Ticklers all stockings and hairstyles
In the Corporation and Red Lion for a while
VERSE 4: Ross's
and the Northern fleet were casual they say
Fighting for the right to earn redundancy pay
Working fingers to the bone, Shopkeepers smile and call
won't someone bail us out before we hit the wall
CHORUS: But
that was then and its not now
But that was then and its not now
No, no, no -oh
It's not now, it's not now
It's not now, it's not now
OUTRO: Do you remember
Freeman Street?
