about

Seven hills is the lead track on the single, the one that's widely known as our Sheffield song. It's about leaving your hometown behind, how your relationship with it changes – and what draws so many people to return and settle back down in the place they where they were born.

lyrics

You were all I knew, for all that time
Well I was yours, and you were mine
I lived to learn and learned to live
For all you gave I tried to give

The day we came to say goodbye
When I moved away, something died
Those many years we spent apart
You were always there inside my heart

The yellow lights on navy sky
I’m coming home, I’ll try not to cry

Every time I walk away I keep coming back for more
Something inside pulls me back, right through the open door
I climb up one of seven hills, turn back round and then
I look back on this city and fall in love with her again

I’ve seen the lights, of London town
Full of life, but can get you down
Though the streets down south, aren’t paved with gold
Those friends for life, have me in their hold

The yellow lights on navy sky
I’m coming home, I’ll try not to cry

I should settle down, 'cos I’m getting old
There’s a warmth up here, despite the cold
I can feel the pull, when I step off the train
This city may change, I’ll still feel the same

The yellow lights on navy sky
I’m coming home, I’ll try not to cry

Every time I walk away I keep coming back for more
Something inside pulls me back, right through the open door
I climb up one of seven hills, turn back round and then
I look back on this city and fall in love with her again

I chose to leave but you swallowed your pride
and welcomed me back with arms open wide
In these city walls is the place I will be
There's a lump in my throat, whenever I see...

The yellow lights on navy sky
I’m coming home, I’ll try not to cry

Every time I walk away I keep coming back for more
Something inside pulls me back, right through the open door
I climb up one of seven hills, turn back round and then
I look back on this city and fall in love with her again
