lyrics
Home
When I get my soul over this bridge I will be home,
When I've punched that clock for the very last time, I will be home,
When I've dragged these bones over the cobblestones of every back street, I will be home,
You see I'm ready to go home...
You see I thought I'd see my name in lights,
Shining like a beacon over Broadway,
But I spent my time getting wasted,
I never noticed I was ageing,
'til it hit me, and boy did it hit me,
With what I have become.
When I've been a dick for the very last time I will be home,
When I've wound my neck in and taken my head right out of my ass I will be home,
When I see what has always been sitting right in front of me the whole damn time, I will be home,
I'm ready to gohome...
We think we're special, like we're a jewel in a crown,
But mate, this universe will keep on,
When you're lying in the ground,
As you're clinging on by your fingernails to this life,
Remember you'll never get out of here alive,
So I'll see you in the next world...
...all the Geordie Best...
Sure it’s old...
.
