lyrics

Well I know that we'd have got on fine in primary school
Because I've seen you laugh to yourself on the bus too
And based upon this image of a little you and me
When we'd play we'd play in the trees
But what would we see from the tops of those trees?

Because wouldn't it be nice if just for one single night
We could look up and see
Stars in the skies above us
Wouldn't it be nice if just for one single night
We could look up and see
Stars above the tower blocks in this town

You see the city skies above us are no place to look
You can make out Orion's Belt but only with luck
And it seems such a shame that after the light's travelled all this way
That in the last millisecond Birmingham gets in the way
And living here is like twenty four hour day

Because wouldn't it be nice if just for one single night
We could look up and see
Stars in the skies above us
Wouldn't it be nice if just for one single night
We could look up and see
Stars above the tower blocks in this town

So lights out Birmingham!
