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?
Good gracious, I went for Aldora Britain's full discography and will have to digest the lot slowly, piece by piece ;-))
Indie music lovers, watch out! The full discography is offered ridiculously cheap. So cheap, I couldn't take the original offer. Nevertheless,, I still got the whole stuff, well , for a ridiculously cheap price....
Many (over 160) compilations and even more singles or EPs. Fantastic value for money and so much music to discover!!!! Folk, rock, punk, alternative, pop, soul... Carsten Pieper
The fingerprints of classic UK psych-folk are all over the beautiful “Battle of the Grumbles,” a work of rich texture & detail. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 4, 2018
Another awesome set of Power Pop covers.......and Chris if you are paying attention......I am eagerly waiting for Cheap Trick's "Taxman, Mr. Thief" on Volume 4 or 5.
You tha' man! Agent K
