You're bored of home,

You're bored of work,

You're bored of everything you do

and it shows ‘cause you know that the crows in the fields were too dull,

they aren't bright enough for you

-

You want something more exotic,

more hypnotic than a pinwheel of red and gold

and all the south, the east are waiting

‘cause for you the west is getting old

-

Your ambition,

to make the decision to travel,

the world keeps growing;

So you pack your bags,

you leave the house

Hop on a plane

‘cause you're knowin’

just where you're goin’,

but when you're there you don't feel so sure

‘Cause the Champs d'Élysées

doesn't look quite like it did

in the brochure

No

You've always wanted to drive yourself down the shining coast of Italy, but you're stuck on a motorway behind a truck

and you're thinking bitterly,

how did you slow down,

how did you get here?

The most exciting time is when you can move up into second gear

How did you end up here?

-

No pools of turquoise,

no French Corner Cafés;

No wise old villagers,

no Chinese lantern parades

How did you set yourself up just to let yourself down?

At least as consolation,

you still have your hometown

At least there's home

At least there's home

At least there's home

At least there's home

-

At least there's home

At least there's home
