lyrics

Well I’ve travelled California
Gilroy town to Monterey
Crossed San Bernardnio forests
To the shores of West LA
Reached the peaks of central Europe
To the flat lands of The Hague
But still there’s something calling me back home

To the old guy ordering water
Sipping bourbon from his pocket
To the girl who’s on before me
Hoping that she’s just got spotted
To that faint old stench of beer
From last night’s student party
I’m just making way for generation next

Make them tall, make them pretty
Let them grow old in this city
Let them learn from the misguided
And ignore advice as I did
Won’t make me feel small, make me unwell
If it did I’d run like hell
I’m just making way for generation next

Well a gaggling choir of school girls
Rolling papers on the dockside
While thirty-something hipsters
Shake off last night’s nitrous oxide
To the girl group chatting loudly
As my set succumbs to quicksand
Each of them proudly sporting
Last year’s festival wristband

And the yoga mums in the park
Are singing softly to their daughters
Nouveau vintage coffee caravan
Selling over-priced water
Graffiti’s up from ransom
It’s protected by the council
I’m just making way for generation next

This swing bridge city’s tailbacks
Keep hill dwellers from the centre
And the taxi queue at Temple Meads
Puts off the Welsh weekender
Seagulls stealing ice cream
From May through to September
I’m just making way for generation next
