I NEVER SAW MY HOMETOWN âTIL I WENT ROUND THE WORLD
Ian McNabb
Love is like a razor when youâre looking for a shave
Shed off all your dignity Iâll race you to your grave
The driverâs getting sentimental talking âbout this girl
I never saw my hometown âtil 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 itâs getting quite absurd
I never saw my hometown âtil I went round the world
Tuesday night The Rain Parade come crashing in my room
Matt was stoned and Beggars phoned the chart positionâs gloom
Youâd better call the embassy my hair is gonna curl
I never saw my hometown âtil I went round the world
Been awake for thirty hours I think Iâm going down
With some habituary illness thatâs 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 âbout the folks at home this DJ thinks Iâm weird
Crawl around the floor pick up the beer cans that you hurl
You saw your hometown âtil you went round the world
Love is like a razor when youâre looking for a shave
Shed off all your dignity Iâm gonna race you to your grave
Getting sentimental thinking âbout a girl
I never saw my hometown âtil I went round the world, no
I never saw my hometown âtil I went round the world, no
I never saw my hometown âtil I went round the world
