On a rainy night in Croydon
We’d all meet up for the groove
And we would wind up in the Oval
Planning our next move
Come on let’s play it tight
If you could you play all night
Until the morning comes around
I know your happy place
Is anywhere that you can play
We stuck at it through thick and thin
From Canning Town to East Berlin
But now the music’s stopped
And the bar is calling time
But didn’t we have a real good time?
On a rainy night in Croydon
On the streets you made your home
Well I know there’s something happening
‘Cos you brought your saxophone
Come on let’s play it tight
If you could you play all night
Until the morning comes around
I know your happy place
Is anywhere that you can play
On any scale in any key
From Addiscombe to Coventry
But now the music’s stopped
And the bar is calling time
But didn’t we have a real good time?
You made a happy place
Out of everywhere that you showed your face
And wherever you are now
I know you’re playing loud and proud
And though the music’s stopped
And the bar has called it time
We know we had a real good time
Feels like the sky’s descending
And rats are scratching at the door
Head’s buzzing like a broken radio
Can’t take it anymore
But I'm not letting go
Cos there's a light approaching
Let’s hope it’s not another train
And if I get knocked down
I'm not broken
I'm Just a little dazed
I'll get back on my feet
And bring you better days
Yeah I'll bring you better days
I'll bring you better days
I'll bring you better days
We laughed before the storms came
Basked in the calm before the rains
But when the heavens opened
We tore apart again
But I won’t let you go
Cos there’s a bright horizon
I know it’s gonna be OK
And when I get knocked down
Well I'm not beaten
I'm Just a little dazed
I'll get back on my feet
And bring you better days
Yeah I'll bring you better days
I'll bring you better days
I’ll make it better
I can’t bear to walk away alone
And face a life without the tenderness we’ve shown
And I love you more than words can say
I’ll keep the wolves at bay
I’ll be the one to bring you better days
I’ll bring you better days
I’ll bring you better days
I’ll make it better
I really want to bring you better days
