Everything But the Girl - Hatfield 1980 Lyrics

Suburbia, 1 a.m. you're walking home again
Shopping bags and broken glass
I hate going through the underpass
I wish there was some other way around
But you got beaten up by the playground

And it's no use you'll have to go through
Suburban shopping center pedestrian walkways
I think they were meant to make things better
It's just emptier the scary nighttime
Hatfield, at that time

This is the place I live
Where is everyone? We the only ones
This is the place I live
And so does everyone, and so does everyone

Hatfield 1980
I'm seeing my first knife my first ambulance ride
I hold your hand the whole way crying get home the next day
Police have already been well, you can imagine the scene

And if I'm going home
I better change my clothes
I better change my clothes
And if I'm going home
I better change my clothes
I better change my clothes

This is the place I live
Where is everyone? We the only ones
This is the place I live
And so does everyone, and so does everyone

When I'm looking back I look for everyone
And when I fall down I fall for everyone
When I'm looking back I look for everyone
And when I fall down I fall for everyone
