NEVER WENT BACK (Robert J. Purvis)
I was born in Castle Town house
Don't remember much as a baby
Five years old and we moved
out of town
And I never went back
No, I never went back
Missed the sand that blew in my face
On the beach where we played in the summer
Left it all for a housing estate
And I never went back
No, I never went back
They decided to go
I said no, no, no, no, let me stay
All my friends live 'round here
I don't want to be taken away
No, no, no
I recall, I was pushing sixteen
I met a girl who was a little bit easy
I laid her down and I gave her my love
And I never went back
No, I never went back
Twenty-one and they say you're a man
Twenty-five, don't the years pass quickly
Pretty soon, I'll be over the hill
And I'll never get back
No, I'll never get back
No, I'll never get back
No,
I'll never get back
No,
I'll never get back
No, I'll never get back, no-oo
No,
I'll never get back, no-oo
No,
I'll never get back, no-oo
No,
I'll never get back, no-oo
No,
I'll never get
back, no-oo
No,
I'll never get
back, no-oo
No,
I'll never get
back, no-oo
