Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
The town that I call Oldham
So many characters I've seen
When I caught pint in the Scruples bar
Was a localers big dream
And the lads all in the stolen cars
Have a rundown 1.4 Capri
From drinking on the corners
With Pete Taylor and Craig Lindsay
When Spanner and Pete Grimley
Were hiding shotguns in the chimney
Oh well some had times in this town
But it's the place that we loved
And McChad is in the pub again
And he's barred from every boozer
And the Derker hotel's rammed again
We never thought much of the future oh no
If I could go back in time
I wouldn't change a single thing
About these stories we wrote
'Cause that's when we were young
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
This ain't the time we know
It just don't feel like home
'Cause all of my friends that I grew up with
Most are dead and gone
And I'm holding onto pictures in my mind
Just wanna spend the night with you
And Glyn Gardner's in the cells again
For doing grows up in his home
And the police outside of Pat's old house
At 16 Prippy Road oh no
Some had times in this town
But it's the place that we loved
And the council tax keeps going up
Destroying our estates
The pubs we spent the good nights in
Are just buildings gone to waste
Oh there were times I used to hold your hand
And go see our favorite place
Those memories will live a lifetime once again
'Cause that's when we were young
This ain't the town we know
This ain't the town we knew
Them young'uns coming through
And I know that times are changing
But I still don't feel the same way that I do
When I'm here thinking of you
Familiar faces
This ain't the town we know
It just don't feel like home
'Cause all of my friends that I grew up with
Most are dead and gone
And I'm holding onto pictures in my mind
Just wanna spend the night with you
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
This ain't the time we know
This ain't the time we knew
Them young'uns coming through
And I know that times are changing
But I still don't feel the same way that I do
When I'm here thinking of you
And familiar faces
This ain't the town we know
It just don't feel like home
'Cause all of my friends that I grew up with
Most are dead and gone
And I'm holding onto pictures in my mind
Just wanna spend the night with you
And familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
Familiar faces
