Thought I had a degree of resistance but look at me seeking assistance
A neutral voice to talk to 
A room to walk to in the city
With a painting of a mother pretty
And another of a father in my eyeline
Forcing me to try to take stock
To face up wind back the clock
Push down the fear
Bring the summer ghosts near
And when you look back you find you haven't travelled far
Though you'd changed until reminded who you are
And ever piece of you that you volunteer
Just brings the summer ghosts near
Brings the summer ghosts near
My folks were just people with their own shit
And God knows there was enough of it
Wrapped up in themselves
Jazz on the shelves
It's how you deal with it
How not to make a meal of it
I watch the dark come then let it go
I could be the Zen master I know
Though it's easier when you're shot of it
As opposed to when there's really quite a lot of it
And when you look back you find you haven't travelled far
Though you'd changed until reminded who you are
And ever piece of you that you volunteer
Just brings the summer ghosts near
Brings the summer ghosts near
And this is Spring Bank
Where I walked years ago
Welcome to the world I used to know
Now it's clearance seals
Saturday hair and nails
Loans and help with debt 
Flats over shops to let
Up goes the Hilton on the corner of Ferensway
The first for a long time
Feels like yesterday
Hard blows the easterly
My granddad was born here
Out on the Anlaby road
And when you look back you find you haven't travelled far
Though you'd changed until reminded who you are
And ever piece of you that you volunteer
Just brings the summer ghosts near
Brings the summer ghosts near
Past the land of Green Ginger
Through Hepworth's Arcade
Past the land of Green Ginger
Down Whitefriargate
