Croydon Songtext
von Captain Sensible

I went to Norwood Hill in South Molton
But I swore I wasn′t there
Where the bronze bust was nicked
Let me see it must have been in my third year
Hanging round outside Virgo Fidelis and the Lady Eldridge School
I worked at the Fairfield Halls as a toilet cleaner
But I knew some day I'd be back there some day
Giving concerts there in my own right
I attended Stanley Tech in South Norwood Hill
I think it was oh yeah
Where the bronze bust was nicked
Let me think it must have been in my third year
Lying in wait outside Virgo Fidelis
And the Lady Eldridge Grammar School
I worked at the Fairfield Halls cleaning toilets
But I understood some day
I′d be back in my own right giving concerts
In my own peculiar way
But I kept my rabbit back at home
And I cleaned it every other day


And now the time has come to say
Farewell dad with your sardines and the TV set that I blew
And now the time has come to say
Farewell mum with your baked beans
And the poppadoms I never knew
I'll be in Los Angeles where the famous people never quite get old
Yeah in Los Angeles where they're all too rich to even feel the cold
But I′ll still be dreaming of you Croydon
Especially in the cold and rain
And now the time has come to say
I′ll be leaving Croydon way to the lovely town I once knew
And now the time has come to say
I'll be back another day saying sod LA
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
What a day, what a day
