lyrics

NO FIXED ABODE

As the clouds come down on the mountain side
My head starts to spin and my dreams to collide
As I wonder where I'll be and what I'll be doing this time next year
This town has crumbled before my eyes
It's taken me so long just to realise
That I've got to grab my baby and leave here before it's too late

Season after season I've been towing the line
Trying to build a future but I'm wasting my time
Feels like the tide going out, then forgetting to come back in

I'd go ten thousand miles, ten thousand miles, baby, baby, baby
Ten thousand miles, ten thousand miles, save me, save me, save me

As the boat leaves the harbour sending signals to me
It says I'm heading to the place where you want to be
And then the waves part before it, like Moses and the blue, red sea
I try to laugh with and enjoy all the people I meet
But I'm tired of sitting and listen to them shuffling their feet
and I feel like I'm driving the wrong way down a one-way street

Chorus

Well, I've made up my mind, no, we ain't taking it
You can't enter the door when the key don't fit
So come on inside and find the real me
We'll put this all behind us and maybe then you'll see

Let's pack up all our troubles and we'll bury them deep
And we'll take with us the memories that we want to keep
And in the cover of the night
We're going to leave them guessing while they sleep
We're going to run through the lands with a fine-toothed comb
Until we find the place that shouts 'Hey! This is your home!'
And then we'll send them all a postcard with our names on
And 'No Fixed Abode'
