SHIRLEY BASSEY
"The Girl From Tiger Bay"
(David Arnold / Manic Street Preachers)

There's a crack in every pavement
Underneath there is a beach
It's been a long time longing
As history repeats

Yes many times I've wondered
Why a part of me remains
In a place so full of beauty
That somehow never changed

I bought a ticket of a lifetime
There's no denying who I am
Forever young, I will stay
The girl from Tiger Bay

Time has me believing
That there's nothing left to prove
I feel the love within me
And love can't be removed

All the memories and the scars
They dance away into the stars
