Lyrics:
The golden groves are lined with affluence and roses,
But the bagheads down by Central Station are closer to where home is.
It can be grim and send you West from time to time,
Yeah, this place is such a shipwreck,
But this shipwreck, it is mine.
Day by day we grew to love this place,
And where I make my grave, my anchor lays.
I've been wasting away,
But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway,
If you're looking for a place to decay,
Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry.
I've seen a punch or two,
Narrowly escaped a few,
And if you can get the day off, I could show you a view.
I remember the football games,
The first time that I got laid,
And the time J broke his finger drinking by the lake.
Day by day we grew to love this place,
And where I make my grave is where my anchor lays.
The sound of my youth echoes out through these empty streets,
I guess I can't kick up the roots;
It's home, and that's the truth.
We know what it's like to be put down
So fuck you to the world, and stand your ground.
We know how to turn it inside out and get a little bit rowdy.
I'm not stuck I'm staying,
Yeah I said, I'm not stuck I'm staying.
And if you've got sorrows to drown and the bottom's where you're bound,
You will always have a place in my town called revelry.

[@tinoritchie8087]

Well, i am Scottish (from Glasgow) and i live in Brazil, in the most fucked up city you could ever imagine. We actually don't have nothing to do! You can't go out in the center at night, 'cause for sure you will be robbed, and there's a lot of drunk people there. At least we have a beach and hot weather. But, anyway, Wrexham sounds to be nice enough!

[@al13n10]

North wales is best, big up Colwyn bay!!!! 👌🏿❤️

[@5uper5kill3rz]

I went on a music residential trip to Colwyn Bay when I was 12 with my secondary school in rural Oxfordshire just down the road from where Jeremy Clarkson/David Cameron live and the teachers told us not to go outside at night because it was too dangerous lmao, we were told to avoid the town at all costs basically! I was shitting myself haha

[@al13n10]

@@5uper5kill3rz aha, it's not that bad😅🤣

[@emilyr5rocks]

Wrexham does kinda suck. I live here.

[@Lynxboy63]

EmKay Haha I feel you it used to be a nice place but still proud to say I am from Wrexham

[@emilyr5rocks]

***** Yeah :)

[@sophiewest2903]

Is no one gonna talk about how some parts of the video is filmed in Lincoln, when they're not from Lincoln and this song is about their hometown?

[@CardiffMark]

Sophie West The one guitarist with the glasses is from Lincoln. So only fair. But they are undoubtedly a Welsh band.

[@joeysauce]
