Verse I want you to meet me on Mathew Street. Let’s walk up the sidewalk and feel the beat. There’s a flower shop. I can buy you some roses. I want to feel the mist of the rain on our noses. Pre Chorus You are a beautiful bird in your avant guard dress. I feel my heart glow. Your beauty does impress. Chorus Mathew Street is on my mind. It’s memory I can’t leave behind. I’ve traveled the world. I’ve seen it all. I’ve been at the top. I’ve taken a fall. But this is the place that started it all. Verse Long ago I played music here with my friends. We never wanted the fun to end and it never did. Our music took wings. Then we went on to bigger and better things. Pre Chorus But that was long ago and far away. Things were so much different than today. The innocence of the past has started to fray. This is where the dues of my life were paid. Bridge I never thought I would leave Liverpool. This place was such a part of my youth. But I knew I would have to travel away to meet my destiny and truth. Verse Even when I’m across the ocean, I think of this place. Memories so vivid of a life that used to be a race. Now it’s all behind me, but it’s all still here. Everything I hold dear. Pre-chorus So it’s hello to this place and now goodbye. And now I leave with a tear in my eye. I plan to come back, this place makes me smile. It’s 1980 and I think I have a long while to go. Chorus Mathew Street is on my mind. It’s memory I can’t leave behind. I’ve traveled the world. I’ve seen it all. I’ve been at the top. I’ve taken a fall. But this is the place that started it all.
