In My Liverpool Home by The Spinners Lyrics
[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home
[Verse]
I was born in Liverpool, down by the docks
Me religion was Catholic, occupation hard knocks
At stealing from lorries I was adept
And under an overcoat each night we slept
[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home
[Verse]
Well when I grew up, I met Bridget McGann
She says, "You're not much but I'm needin' a man"
"'Cause I want sixteen kids and a house out in Speke"
Well the spirit was willin' but the flesh it was weak
[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home
[Verse]
Way back in the forties, the world had went mad
Mister Hitler threw at us everything that he had
When the smoke and the dust had all cleared from the air
"Thank God", said my old man, "The pier head's still there!"
[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home
[Verse]
I was born in Liverpool, down by the docks
Me religion was Catholic, occupation hard knocks
At stealing from lorries I was adept
And under an overcoat each night we slept
[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home
[Verse]
Well when I grew up, I met Bridget McGann
She says, "You're not much but I'm needin' a man"
"'Cause I want sixteen kids and a house out in Speke"
Well the spirit was willin' but the flesh it was weak
[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home
[Verse]
Way back in the forties, the world had went mad
Mister Hitler threw at us everything that he had
When the smoke and the dust had all cleared from the air

[Chorus]
In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home
We speak with an accent exceedingly rare
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare
And if you want a Cathedral, we've got one to spare
In my Liverpool home
