About where I lived in Cardiff for 4 years
I'm not the same since I left you
I've grown so smooth and so new
It feels good to forget you
As I wave you out of view
You've got nothing left to give me
And I've got less for you
So forgive me if I don't cry
Forgive me if I don't come back
Cathays, Cathays, Cathays, Cathays
I'll never return to Cathays again
I've got a new city to live in
But when I see a seagull choking to death on the street
I'll think of you and I'll feel good
So many years I spent within you
The times I thought I would go mad
All the sickness that you gave me
The brutal nights that we had
I've been drunk and I've been sober
And either way I feel the same
I don't think that I can love you
I don't think that I should have to
Cathays, Cathays, Cathays, Cathays
I'll never return to Cathays again
I've got a new city to live in
But when I see a seagull choking to death on the street
I'll think of you and I'll feel good
That's not to say that I don't miss you
You made me who I am
All the twisted parts of you
Are where my twists began
You're ugly and you're failing
Sometimes I feel the same
So maybe I'll come back
Cathays, Cathays, Cathays, Cathays
I'll one day come back to Cathays I guess
I could go visit my old address
This new city has got its perks but it's too sharp too clean
and it's not got the odour
There are still people there I love
I could go on the weekend and call them up
I could find a place in my heart for Cathays
As long as I keep away from the seagulls

Oh boy, this has a vibe, stylistically it really reminds me of someone but I can place it. Definitely like this.
