lyrics

The Commercial

Summer Sunday’s cruel
When I lost you
Down on Spitalfields you made me feel

Like a boy again
In a second hand dress
Your looks were blessed and yet

I didn’t think you’d find
That I was quite your kind
But then you took my hand
On Commercial Street
And I found out

Autumn, birthday, school
When I lost you
Through the kissing gates I made mistakes

Like a boy again
In a third-rate song
When it all went wrong and yet

I didn’t think you’d find
That I was quite your kind
But then you took my hand
On Commercial Street
And I found out
What it was all about
On Commercial Street
