Here's "Home to Us," the tune featuring Paul McCartney singing with Ringo Starr, from Paul's The Boys from Dungeon Lane LP out May 29.
Lyrics:
The place we used to live in
You could say it wasn’t much
But it was home to us
And you could be forgiven
If you thought that it was rough
But it was home to us
The roses in the yard began to wilt
And then they turned to dust
But it was home to us
We didn’t worry where the road was going to take us to
There wasn’t time to make a fuss ‘cause that was all we knew
The world around us wasn’t safe
The place was falling down
But it was my hometown
And it was home to us
The lady on the hill was drinking brandy
Eating caviar the perfect host
My mum was in the kitchen washing dishes in the sink
And then she burnt the toast
The kids are in the alley playing ball
Until the sun goes down
But that was my hometown
And it was home to us
(We didn’t worry where the road was going to lead us to)
There wasn’t time to make a fuss ‘cause that was all we knew
(The world around us wasn’t safe)
The place was falling down
But that was my hometown
And it was all I knew
‘Cause it was home to us
The place we used to play
Was in the middle of the street
But it was home to us
And when the skies were grey
It didn’t matter anyway
But it was home to us
The roses in the yard began to wilt
And then they turned to dust
But it was home to us
Yeah it was home to us
Yeah it was home to us
