It sees the band reach the halfway stage of their project.

lyrics

I was a boy of 12 years old,
Didn't like doing what I was told.
Smoking Cigarettes under the willow tree,
Riding my bike down by the estuary.

Walking through the streets under suburban rain,
But I'd always return to Mellow Lane.
Mellow Lane, Mellow Lane,
I'd always return to Mellow Lane.

Mellow Lane, Mellow Lane,
I'd always return to Mellow Lane.
Mellow Lane, Mellow Lane,
Will I ever see your face again?

Bedtime stories etched in melancholy,
Jolly-Roger fishing boat bobbing on the sea.
Jumping busses and catching the train,
I'd always return to Mellow Lane.

Mellow Lane, Mellow Lane,
I'd always return to Mellow Lane.
Mellow Lane, Mellow Lane,
Will I ever see your face again?

INSTRUMENTAL

Now I'm back in this humdrum town,
Wondering why you'd never wear my crown.
Been looking all day for the willow tree,
But they built a supermarket where it used to be!

Mellow Lane, Mellow Lane,
I'd always return to Mellow Lane.
Mellow Lane, Mellow Lane,
Will I ever see your face again?
