lyrics

Take Me Back Home: Words By Johnny Gorman – Racket by Norm Nightmare.

I’m in Birmingham UK walking late last night then pains in my chest it feels so tight. I see the bullring flash before me & the rotunda, oh man I think I’m going under. Then a young Teddy boy catches fall, and a strange mist descends over all.
*It seems we’re in a parallel universe, don’t worry fellow Ted we don’t need a hearse, I’m gonna show you things tonight from your rock n roll past, sit back boy we’ll have a blast. He’s in a 59 consul gives me a Triumph Thunderbird, wow it’s my old one weird ain’t the word. < Instru >
*Then his engine roars & I Rev up my bike , we pass the Ship Ashore wow this I like. The Barrel Organ sounds are oh so sweet, then the Camp Hill Flyover rumbles under my feet.
Then in Small Heath armoury road, Hammers do bang, BSA in full production ... oh man.
*From the Sydenham Live Rock n Roll does strain, all the lads are there the old young again.
Even the dead are back rockin as they used to do, come on in Johnny shout my old crew. Freddie Fingers Lee is Rockin sounds so fine, the one eyed rocker from Newcastle on Tyne.
< Instru >
*The consul pulls away heading back to town, I’m hot on his tail from the odeon Rockin sounds’
The lights say Live tonight Chuck Berry, wow Chucks duckwalking I’ve never felt so merry.
Where next Ol fellah from your past shall we roam ... |:|
Head north I say to my childhood home.
*We stop outside my folks home I ring the door bell, mom and dad answer alive & looking well, I hold out my arms in tearful joy it’s been too long you’ve been missed by your boy.
The Ted says we must go your time here is at an end then the strange mist descends.
