I remember sidewalks and benches disappeared
I remember the old blocks, where the livings really lived
I saw a part of me, destroyed by machines as buildings fell down
The Green Valley reminds me an afternoon spent to play
The Castle is still there, but it looks clinical
The churches are still up, but trees were washed away by the concrete
But I love to watch the rain, hitting the theatre place
I like to cross the Prairie, and go down to the river
I enjoy lying in the grass of the old Campus esplanade
I belong to this town, I belong to its walls
I grew up in these streets, I found friends in its bars
I met love a few times, I endured pain many times
Oh dear hometown
But I do believe in these outlaw spaces
Where some friends are building fights, some bands are playing loud
Where drums are setting your heart aflutter oh fuck you dear hometown
I belong to this town, I belong to its walls
I grew up in these streets, I found friends in its bars
I met love a few times, I endured pain many times
Oh dear hometown
