Prefab Sprout - Nero The Zero lyrics

[Verse 1] I have lived in Neville's Cross But it's not famous for me That's the opening line Of an ancient song of mine We had great fun trying to play Every other Wednesday [Verse 2] No one had seen Such a greatest hits machine All coming through the mirrors I threw away old verses we would play Those words were too wild for us But I still love the chorus [Chorus] It always rains in Durham County Your ears are raw and your hair is wet But don't you worry in Durham County What you're really feeling you soon forget [Verse 3] We won't be told that the past was pure gold We were there and it wasn't Once in a while, let's look and smile To the days when buses brought us To the home of Ansa Motors [Chorus] It always rains in Durham County Your ears are raw and your hair is wet But don't you worry in Durham County What you're really feeling you soon forget It always rains in Durham County Though moments of laughter sometimes intervene The days are complex in Durham County Or they are simple or in between, yeah yeah
