Takes a pound out of his mother's purse
And goes to see young Kenny
They just dream of Chelsea
But they end in Notting Hill
They never call
They never write a little letter
Just to say they're okay
She's alone

Cecil Road, Cecil Road, Cecil Road
This is 12 Cecil Road

Coming home from school
He finds his brother lying in the hallway
Beaten to an inch by someone they should really know
Takes his hat off to the strangers in the street
They always smile but they really want to run

Cecil Road, Cecil Road, Cecil Road
This is 12 Cecil Road
Cecil Road, She's always home,
Cecil Road She's always home
This is 12 Cecil Road
Cecil Road

Now she's making things in silk
For all the children singing sadly softly
Thinking of a time when she was living somewhere else
She knows he's lost,
She never looks at all the pictures
But she knows
Daddy loved her after all

Cecil Road, Cecil Road, Cecil Road
This is 12 Cecil Road
Cecil Road, She's always home,
Cecil Road, She's always home, Cecil Road
This is 12 Cecil Road
Cecil Road

Cecil Road, Cecil Road, Cecil Road
