I NEVER SAW MY HOMETOWN TIL I WENT ROUND THE WORLD
Ian McNabb
Love is like a razor when youre looking for a shave
Shed off all your dignity Ill race you to your grave
The drivers 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 its 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 positions gloom
Youd 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 Im going down
With some habituary illness thats 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 Im 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 youre looking for a shave
Shed off all your dignity Im 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
