Billy Bragg - You Woke Up My Neighbourhood Lyrics
As I wait for sleep to drag me under
In the evening gloom I sit and wonder
The words I should have said to you
The things I always meant to do
The bad dreams that all came true
You woke up my neighbourhood
Night after night we would row
You woke up my neighbourhood
Things are pretty quiet 'round here now
When I think of how we were together
I know we couldn't be like that forever
Beneath the Seven Sister stars
The night we let it go too far
I slept out in the car
You woke up my neighbourhood
Night after night we would row
You woke up my neighbourhood
Things are pretty quiet 'round here now
I remember skipping on the porch till it grew cold
I remember feeling like I was eight years old
Somersaults across the lawn
Singing dancing up till dawn
Every now and then we'd have a row
You woke up my neighbourhood
Things are pretty quiet round here now
You woke up my neighbourhood
Night after night we would row
You woke up my neighbourhood
Things are pretty quiet 'round here now

Billy Bragg You Woke Up My Neighbourhood Comments
R.E.M. + Billy Bragg? You can get any better than that
I've always loved this song and video
Haven’t listened to this for way too long
Lovely tune.
Got to rank as one of the world's best song-writers.Absolute legend
whio whould give this thumbs down? h key is sticking sorry
fantastic song, great memories. always loved the fact that stipe and buck were not too precious to play second fiddle on this record, as it were, right when REM were becoming one of the biggest bands in the world.
Exactly. I was thinking the same
I came here after hearing this on Radio 2's Dermot O'Leary Saturday Show - January 30th 2016.
My neighbours are listen to good music, if they want or not!
What a wonderful song x
glad you woke up my neighbourhood x
Peter Buck, a myth
u mean a legend? lol
It is absolutely Peter Buck's house.
could have been the b-side for shinny happy people
Hahaha literally
a slimmer looking phil jupitus too.
That's my mum on the double
bass there.
Seriously? How cool. I was literally wondering who all the video actors and musicians were. Was she an actual player in that song, or a bass player at all, or was she acting out a character? Whichever way, that's awesome! I want to ask if they had as much fun as it looks in the video? Did she meet Bragg? I doubt anyone met Stipe or Jeff, because they were in separate scenes. She definitely helped a lot make that such a wonderful video. Tell her THANK YOU for me, because she made me smile!
@DoLeaveItOutMate Ooops - take your point there. What I mean is that we went to Athens around that period not actually to Peter Buck's house. We passed it many times but there was never a chance of being invited in for coffee.
@HurdyGurdyMen CLANG! Think you've dropped a name there, chum.
I'm sure the outside of the house is the house that Peter Buck lived in in Athens in the lates 80's/early 90's. Went there a few times around that period and if it's not it looks very similar.
Good lord, I never knew there was a video to this! Fantastic stuff.
420 views?! That means 8 billion people are missing out! I love this song and loved being in love with the girl that made me love it so much. Goofy video? Yes. But rock on Billy. Thanks for the sorely overlooked post. Wish the last five seconds were there.
