There's a Starbucks (Where the Starbucks Used to Be)

There's a freeway where we played football in the fields

Apartments on the pitch at Highbury

There's a shed called Deer Creek

Of which my one critique

Is there's no creek now and it's all deer-free

There's a Walgreens where there was no wall, just greenery

There's a theme park in a palace in Tennessee

That tree there is a pylon

But some things you can rely on

There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be

There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be

There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be

There's a hard luck story everywhere you look

But oh the glory!

There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be

There's a stadium where we used to drink at Freddie's

For a team that no one likes or wants or needs

Said they'd revitalize the place

There's a million parking spaces

Maybe bedrooms for the homeless refugees

There's a chain store where mom and pop once prospered

They're divorced now and they live in penury

Kids grown up and moved away

I hear that happens anyway

There's a Starbucks where they live, I guarantee

There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be

There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be

There's a hard luck story everywhere you look

But oh the glory!

There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be

And I miss the old Starbucks

Though the new one's just the same

It's got coffee and CDs

It's got the same name

In fact, I wouldn't've even noticed

If you hadn't told me

There's a Starbucks where the Starbucks used to be
