[Verse 1]
I have been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement, tutting my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you, my dear? Anyone I could call?"
"No, thank you and please, madame, I ain't lost, I'm just wandering"

[Chorus]
Around my hometown
Memories are fresh
Around my hometown
Oh, the people I have met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of now

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
Yeah, I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
Yeah, I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government, everybody's taking different sides

[Chorus]
Around my hometown
Memories are fresh
Around my hometown
Oh, the people I have met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of now, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world

[Chorus]
Around my hometown
Memories are fresh
Around my hometown
Oh, the people I have met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders, are the wonders
Are the wonders of my world
'Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Around my hometown
Oh, the people I have met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of now

[Outro]
Of now
Are the wonders of now
Of now
Are the wonders of now
