lyrics

Too dark to read a compass
Too light to read the stars
Too warm to wear a jacket
And I don’t own a car
Sped up when life was slowin’ down
Rode the wave of freedom given
Read a book by an English aristocrat
A cousin of David Niven

I didn’t look down
Still saw what was underneath me
I didn’t look up
Cos I know what was there
Kept my eyes lookin’ straight ahead
Had to see where I was goin’
I knew my destination
And I knew I had to go

Pack my bags cos I’m comin’ home
Pack my bags. Take me there
Pack my bags cos I’m comin’ home
Pack my bags. Take me there

The street I’d never walk down
Was the one that I had to cross
And the sequence of events meant
That I was never really lost
The startling truth is that I didn’t
Really know I was ever gone
Momentary indecision
Back trackin’ on my own

Pack my bags cos I’m comin’ home
Pack my bags. Take me there
Pack my bags cos I’m comin’ home
Pack my bags. Take me there

Now I’m hungover in the morning sun
Not a good place to be
And I hanker for the twilight hours
And a home cooked recipe
The comfort of the lounge at home
80’s music on the dial
The football on the TV
And stories of the hungry mile
