Peterborough - The Long Blondes

I met you in Peterborough for an hour

But you weren’t the same any more

Your eyes were tired, the fire was out and your face was bored

You wanted us to run away

To Yarmouth and hold hands in the rain

I wanted to, you had the best shoulders on any boy I’d ever seen

It’s never very far

It’s never very far to Peterborough

We may not run away

But I could be in Peterborough in an hour today

In an hour

I went on the trams in Yarmouth

And cried on the Carousel

I’m not talking to you, no you did it before

You say ‘you never get dressed up any more'

I’d rather be in Sheffield than Peterborough

It’s never very far

It’s never very far to Peterborough

We may not run away

But I could be in Peterborough in an hour today

In an hour

It’s been two years since I kissed you last

Our modern romance is in the past

I think of you on Platform 5 as we pull away

So ring me up and we’ll meet half way

???

To Peterborough today

With a drink for an hour at the station bar to Peterborough

It’s never very far

It’s never very far to Peterborough

We may not run away

But I could be in Peterborough in an hour today

In an hour

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, Peterborough

Yeah, yeah, Peterborough

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
