Mm-mm
Mm-mm
You can see the mansions from the council estate
And there's a big old rain cloud formin' overhead now
As I leave this place
Down here no one's special and they'd kill ya if ya tried
But they'd help you in a heartbeat and if they couldn't stop you bleedin'
They'd die there by your side
Hey ma I crossed the sea today
Would you mind goin' and checkin' in on Mick for me?
Tell me you know I had to go but I wanted to stay
Hey ma
Is PJ off the drink still?
Is it rainin' up in Shankill?
You know I'd be doin' alright if I had someone to shoot the breeze with
Just once in every while
Hey ma I'm just callin' to say
All the words that'll make you think I breeze through the day
Yeah I know it's just an hour on the aeroplane
But that doesn't stop it feelin' like a world away
Hey hey ma
Livin' in the city
Although the London lights are pretty
Nobody stops to see the beauty
Of what is goin' on what's really goin' on
Hey ma I crossed the street today
I said hello to a stranger but he walked away
I'm sendin' love from a street where no one knows my name
And I hope when I get back that things will be the same
Hey ma
Hey hey ma
Hey ma
