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
