Eleanor Lyrics

I saw you last night

In your babys arms

Standing in the lights

Looking upper class

You didn't see me

Or recognized me

I guess the years

Haven't shown me mercy

You've come a long way I can tell

From the council estates that we called hell

You were the girl who wore glasses

And once upon a time you had a crush on me

Eleanor

I know your name

Eleanor

I wanted to say hi

But I said nothing at all

I didn't want to embarrass you

And maybe you don't want to recall

About the shit hole

Where we grew up

You've got finer friends now

Much finer than I'll ever know

You've come a long way I can tell

From the council estates that we called hell

You were the girl who wore glasses

And once upon a time you had a crush on me

Eleanor

I know your name

Eleanor

And as the band kept playing the last hurrah

You walked out through the door

You've traded a life in the council estates for finer friends and champagne

But to me you'll stay the same

Eleanor

I know your name

Eleanor

I'm glad you came

Eleanor

As you walk out through the door

I remember years ago

You were my first kiss

Back in the council estates

To me you're still the same

Eleanor
