Music Mondays - Hometown Glory by Adele

I know Adele has attracted a lot of attention after her new album - 21, but the song I like the most from her is one of her older ones from her first album - 19.

Hometown Glory was originally Adele's first single, but it was relaunched as the fourth single after the album became well known. The song was written in 10 minutes by Adele herself after her mother tried to convince her to leave her hometown to go to University. I thought this would be rather fitting as I start University today.

I hope you enjoy it!

LYRICS...

HOMETOWN GLORY
by Adele

I've been walking in the same way as I did

Missing out the crack in the pavement

And tutting my heel and strutting my feet

"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone that I can call?"

No and thank you, please madam.

I ain't lost just wandering.

CHORUS

Round my hometown

Memories are fresh

Round 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 my world

I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque

I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades.

I like it in the city when two worlds collide

You get the people and the government

Everybody taking different sides

Show that we ain't gonna stop

Shows that we are united

Shows that we ain't gonna take it

Shows that we ain't gonna stop

Shows that we are united.

CHORUS
