lyrics

Tommy me and Mark made three
Getting high on walnut tea, many moons ago

Shrub Hill you still, you drive me crazy
When will we ever be the same?

The Summer shone upon our street
The days were long and Mrs Leek, she made you dream

Shrub Hill you still, you drive me crazy
When will we ever be the same?

And in the night we'd fly
Beyond the river lies a love, you'll never know again
You never really knew it then

Staring at a sea of stars
Which was North and which was Mars?
Long journey home

Shrub Hill you still, you drive me crazy
When will we ever be the same?
