I was taught a lesson
by these cobbled streets that
it's the company you keep not

the people you meet
chimney smoke you made me
look like a joke torrential rain

oh no, you made
my mind choke.


Stop signs oh you're red and
white coloured dots in the
middle made me realise

i'm high as a kite
do you think i'll be sleeping
on my own tonight?


Double yellow lines
by the side of the road

yellow lines will carry
me home, yellow lines by the
side of the road take me

home tonight

And theres the fire brigade

the working class
parade, i chased you down
the street, and with a laugh

and a smile you tilted your
hat to greet me. There's the
old streetlight that taught

me my minds all right, it's
more important than a fist
and a fight. Do you think

i should go home to my
mother tonight ?


Double yellow lines
by the side of the road
yellow lines will carry

me home, yellow lines by the
side of the road take me
home tonight


Double yellow lines
by the side of the road

yellow lines will carry
me home, yellow lines by the
side of the road take me

home tonight

Double yellow lines

by the side of the road
yellow lines will carry
me home, yellow lines by the

side of the road take me
home tonight
