    Another Satur - day, another date.    She would be ready but she'd  always make him wait    in the hallway,  in anticipation,

It  always ended up in a  big row when my  sister used to get home  late.


[spoken:]

Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight: two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate.


   | Em       D               | C       | Em     D        | C
The  day they knocked down the  Pally my  sister stood and  cried.

   | Em       D               | C     | Em         D        | C
The  day they knocked down the  Pally,  part of my childhood  died, just died.
