The LaFontaines - Where They Know My Name

(Verse 1: Kerr)
It’s a live one, my love song from miles away
For the concrete high-rise and miles of grey
Backstreets we claimed those, childish play
To the rooftops, we’d lose like a ball a day

Lost souls revive those, walk with me
I just want to speak to someone who talks like me
When they set the table, do they save a spot for me?
I hope my mothers made something in the pot for me

Pot for me, whip it, whip it in a pot for me
We didn’t dream big – that wasn’t a thought for me
Broken homes, couldn’t even buy us property
My town never even had a fuckin’ job for me

So I’m a set sail and take my flight
Take it to a level on the highest height
No handouts but standouts, up in the nest
With clipped wings, we still fly with some of the best

(Chorus: Jamie)
Running the risk or popping a shot
It’s all the same
I’ve got the gift of confidence
Where they know my name
There’s no distance, in my mind
I’m on my way home, one more time
(Verse 2: Kerr)
Another live one, coming for the summer, tops off we ease in
If you thought winter was cold, summer is freezing
If she came with a tan, it won’t be leaving
Funny it’s the city, she came to get her degrees in

Pile 4 in the back and put the keys in
Want to get to know the city I can take you around for the evening
Show you where the spots at
Just pass the aux back and tell them to drop that

Drop that, yeah you can tell them to drop that
This one here for the times, so clock that
Hear it when I speak, you could hardly miss
My headbangers in the crew love a Glasgow kiss

I’m on home turf, feeling good in my skin
Don’t get carried away, you’ll catch one on the chin
Something bout the people you could never compare
Any place I’ve ever been I’d always rather be there

So when they talk, when they talk about the town
Better keep it real sweet, better keep it sound
Or heads are gonna roll gonna roll
With all the young team living on the dole
For anybody repping where they’re from
Put your hands up with me, this is your song
If you’re lost on the map and feel alone
Just remember the city you call home

(Chorus: Jamie)
Running the risk or popping a shot
It’s all the same
I’ve got the gift of confidence
Where they know my name
There’s no distance, in my mind
I’m on my way home, one more time
