Oxford Street-Everything But the Girl

[00:00.00] When I was ten I thought my brother was God - he'd lie in bed and turn out the [00:19.23]light with a fishing rod. I learned the names of all his football team, aid I [00:26.43]still remembered them when I was nineteen. [00:42.48]Strange the things deal that I remember still - shouts from the playground when [00:49.98]I was home and ill. My sister taught me all that she learned there; when we [00:58.02]grow up, we said, we'd share a flat somewhere. [01:03.54]When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street. [01:23.79]Where I grow up there were no factories. there was a school and shops and some [01:31.98]fields and trees, and rows of houses one by one appeared. I was born in one and [01:41.46]lived there for eighteen years. [01:45.15]Then when I was nineteen. I thought the Humber would be the gateway from my [01:58.08]little world into the real world. But there is no real world - we live side by [02:09.30]side, and sometimes collide. . [02:16.20]When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street. It was a little world; I grew [02:40.68]up in a little world.
