Keane - Sovereign Light Café (Lyrics)

- Опубликовано: 6 май 2012
- I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
Down Down Powder Mill Lane and the battlegrounds
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns
I didn't know I was finding out how I'd be torn from you
When we talked about things we were gonna do
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too
We'd go down to the rides on east parade
By the lights of the palace arcade
And watch night coming down
On the sovereign light cafe
I'm begging you for some sign
But you still got nothing to say
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
I'm a better man now than I was that day
Let's go down to the rides on east parade
By the lights of the palace arcade
And watch night coming down
On the sovereign light cafe
Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drums and the lovers appear
To take turns As the stars
Of the sovereign light cafe
I wheel my bike off the train,
Up the north trade road
And look for you on marley lane
In every building and every street sign
Oh why did we ever go so far from home ?
Well you've got nothing to hide,
you come to change who you really are
You can get a big house and a faster car
You can run away boy but you won't go far
Yeah I'm going where the people know my name

Was back in England in July and this was BBC Radio 2 record of the week so I heard it a lot as I drove up to Scotland and back. Wonderful, wonderful song. I am 71 but it brings back the teenage years in the 1950s and all the soft angst that goes with being a teenager in and out of love. Thank you Keane for helping me feel young and hopeful again.
Young and hopeful.. love it :)
This song (lyrics) reminds me when I was young growing up in my town feeling invincible one of the best songs Keane has made plus the album is fantastic worth every penny well done Keane
I really love this song. Then again, I love every song by Keane. They have not failed to impress me
Can't get enough of this song...I love Keane...Great great song!
Hey, do one thing -- never care what others have to say, because you, inside, know exactly what true, sublime music is. Keane is definitely one of the greatest artists alive, and he did NOT disappoint with this album.
Hastings, East parade, Bexhill is located on the seafront just on the east side of the del la warr pavilion. Palace arcade is the row of amusements located off marine parade Bexhill. Powerder lane is in Battle, on the Battle to Catsfield Road and North Trade road is through battle high street. Marley Lane is located just outside Battle.

Taxi driver?
Another great band from England.Great song ! Great lyrics !🙂👍 Alot of great bands from England.
love to bits ......... the simple music and the most amazing voice of all times ....hope to hear it live one day
Keane is the most talented band ever . The lyrics are beautiful and the music is spectacular. You cant go wrong with a band like Keane
brought a tear to my eye! have lived in this area all my life.so nice to know the boys havent forgot they,re roots!!!!
About friendship that has been gone like the wind, this song means so much to me.
I still love this song 🎵 ❤️
Keane's musics are certainly a lifesaver! They're the best! Keane fan for life :)
No one - and I mean no one - writes melodies like Keane in this day & age!
U2
@@billionbites There's no way I can prove it, of course, but I predict that in 100 years time U2's music will be forgotten, but Keane's won't.
@@billionbites Well, I doubt if I'll be around in 2120! But, seriously, I don't mean to devalue your opinion & it's good that you're able to appreciate both groups. After all, Keane themselves cite U2 as a major influence. I just feel that Tim Rice-Oxley has a rare songwriting talent, one that has yet to be fully recognised, but then, 'What do I know...?'
@@appledoreman this is hilarious. I like keane but geez lol.... u2 is forever
How can I song make me feel nostalgic for a time and place I never lived in?
my friend said this song sounds old, so what?!
this song is an example of what music really is
KEANE
I was almost certain this was an 80's song when I heard it for the first time today. It's BRILLIANT! Just downloaded the album!!
This song is amazing. Can cheer you up from anything.
i'm glad the lyrics are here cause when i listen to this song, all i hear is glitter and joy. just nothing but fabulousness.
That's why they remain my favourite band !
I love this song, I definitely always feel happier after hearing it! They play it at my work almost every day!
The town of Bexhill-on-sea in East Sussex but it speaks for every seaside town in the UK.
SirLeeOldgit Yeah, this song always makes me think of Bournemouth, even though that’s in Dorset not Sussex, but it has a pier and a beach cafe so, yeah, pretty much like most seaside towns in the UK. Not every one, though, half the ones in Wales aren’t like that at all.
They play it every single day at my work too, i just love it
I love this song so much. It cheers me up. A past childhood. Apart from that its a feel good song. Love itxxx
Heard this live last october. I got goosebumps. Unbelievable.
I love this song ahhhh
No way is it an 80's song - it's straight out of the 1950s - different time, same values. Love it!
I love this song,it makes me happy
I have to thank Keane for my early love for music :] endless car journeys of my Dad singing away !!
Such a good song, Its Cool as i actually drive down Powder Mill Lane (In the lyrics right at the begginning) too work everyday... Its awesome actually knowing the places they are singing about !!
I just love this song from the first time I heard it. Keane is so powerful and amazing, I just bought the new album
I really like this new album! ^^ I had only listened to some songs from Keane before but I decided to listen to all the CD, completely. What a great idea! Love the album and love this song! :) Great job guys!
what a beautiful song, I just loved it when I heard this by the first time
this song both reminds me of an amazing person and helps with my mental health problems. I hope Keane understands how powerful this song is!
this is the battle song !! super this is the real keane, i love them !!
Epic. Great song. Welcome back Keane.
who cares what critics say... music is such a diverse thing that critics shouldn't even exist
One of my favorite songs by Keane!
His voice with some notes, is a little bit similar with Brandon Flowers ! Love it
I found it as soundtrack in a video and I thought to find a Killers' song
I can agree. Flowers is idk golden. The new Album is the shit. Old Killers hot fuss days.
Good call
Me encantan! no dejan de sorpenderme! en especial esta canción, bien por KEANE!
These lyrics are not just a re-hash of all others ,but original, how rare !
Wow..what a song. 1st time heard. Sounds so much like me & Nance..!!
This album is ridiculously awesome. If you're sad, listen to Hopes and Fears or parts of UTIS. If you're happy, listen to Strangeland. It's perfect.
Keane rocks.
Love this song!
Never has wheeling your bike off a train sounded so glamorous and...monumental. if only the bus replacement service took them.
Thanks! checked on wikipedia, the pier at night looked really charming...
I love it. Keane Rules!
I hate when I arrive to these songs late.
Im still hear a year later

The critics keep on bashing, but we'll keep on loving Keane. They just hate the band because they're too good to be critiqued :))

For me, they are the best.
I've heard this whilst watching the Golf, it was showing the rankings and this song came on in the background. I also heard it on the Sky News Royal Jubliee advert again in the background.

I love how Keane songs exactly like The Killers, love it just love it!
The killers are like Keane not the other way round
