lyrics

Brought up in the country
Walking my dog out in the field
Found a new religion
In the sounds of my Walkman
Connecting with me
First gig was in 81
Saw The Who live at The NEC
My ears they rang for days
And I thank my father for the fire it gave me

And this is my church
And these are the roots of me

Found a world on c90s
All of the tapes my uncle made for me
Robert Johnson and Neil Young
Kraftwerk, Hendrix, David Bowie
David Bowie filled my head
Every album was a brand new journey
Mum and Dad played Supertramp
Van The Man, Queen, Flyod and Joni

And this is my church
And these are the roots of me

6 years old down the Yellow Brick Road
And the sofa was my piano
On a Thursday night with a plastic guitar
Wanting to be Marc Bolan

Saw The Clash at De Montfort
Worshipped the ground of the punk rock style
Death Cult before Bauhaus
And the energy it blew my mind
On my wall were the cuttings
Melody Maker and the NME
Tuning into John Peel
And the Tube on a Friday as I had my tea

And this is my church
And these are the roots of me

So we headed to Brixton
200 hundred punks on a South bound train
Headed down to Brockwell Park
For the Spear and the Damned and the NMA
NMA they changed my world
With the pride and the passion and the family they gave
I bought a bass and formed a band
Ignited the fire that burns in me today

This is my church
And these are the roots of me
