Take Me Home - Lyrics

Work is slow.
The power’s down.
The streets are crowded hot and hazy.
Ambition’s big.
Money’s poor.
We’re scared to live and Bush is crazy.
It’s hard to say what happens next.
There are rumours it’s the best it gets.

We truthfully appear to be cursed
How can it get any worse?

Take me home where the winter’s always white.
And when you look up in the sky you see the stars at night.
Take me home to my family and we’ll sit in the garden and watch
Glorianne’s children grow.

I’m out of gigs.
Out of rhyme.
Out to lunch and out of time.
I ran too quickly. Ran too fast.
Made it so it wouldn’t last.
There must be something better for me
‘round the corner wait and see.
But, truthfully there’s nowhere to run.
It’s like throwing wooden arrows at the sun.

(chorus)

I haven’t had a breath of air.
Working hard and getting nowhere.
I’m climbing fast but slipping faster.
waiting for this huge disaster.
To come along and change us all.
Just like before we can’t ignore
the fact that we have struck upon a curse.
How can it get any worse?

(Chorus)
Where the people are friendly
and they drive a little slower in the summertime.
Home, where they laugh a little louder and they play a little louder ‘
cuz they have more time.
To my family…
and we’ll sit in the garden and watch Glorianne’s children grow.
