I NEVER SAW MY HOMETOWN ¡¯TIL I WENT ROUND THE WORLD

|
Love is like a razor when you¡¯re looking for a shave
|
Shed off all your dignity I¡¯ll race you to your grave
|
The driver¡¯s getting sentimental talking ¡®bout this girl
|
I never saw my hometown ¡®til I went round the world
|
|
Going up to Canada the record company
|
Are paying for the trip you know that all the drinks are free
|
She may just leave her lover for me it¡¯s getting quite absurd
|
I never saw my hometown ¡®til I went round the world
|
|
Tuesday night The Rain Parade come crashing in my room
|
Matt was stoned and Beggars phoned the chart position¡¯s gloom
|
You¡¯d better call the embassy my hair is gonna curl
|
I never saw my hometown ¡®til I went round the world
|
|
Been awake for thirty hours I think I¡¯m going down
|
With some habituary illness that¡¯s been going round this town
|
Dreaming of Waikiki where we know we felt like kings
|
But the reverie is slaughtered when the telephone rings
|
|
Pulling on a cigarette and scratching at my beard
|
Talking ¡®bout the folks at home this DJ thinks I¡¯m weird
|
Crawl around the floor pick up the beer cans that you hurl
|
You saw your hometown ¡®til you went round the world
|
|
Love is like a razor when you¡¯re looking for a shave
|
Shed off all your dignity I¡¯m gonna race you to your grave
|
Getting sentimental thinking ¡®bout a girl
|
I never saw my hometown ¡®til I went round the world, no
|
I never saw my hometown ¡®til I went round the world, no
|
I never saw my hometown ¡®til I went round the world
