It
Funny how the grass is always greener on the other side. When you are busy you want to be lazy, when you are lazy you want to be busy. When you are marrier you want to be single, when you are single you want to be married.
This song by Pop Will Eat Itself [amazon], one of the greatest bands in my list of all time bands, pretty much sums it up in so many ways. After something sucky, it is good to be back home...but then after a while you need to get away from home. With "the project" over...it's good to be back "home". But I know I will need another "project" to keep me busy pretty soon. I'm just a glutton for punishment.
Home [mp3]
Good to be back home... in the pubs with the people that you love
And a crawl around the clubs getting high
GTBBH... all alone when you're running up the phone bill
Trying to raise the cents for the rent
GTBBH... with your kid and you ask him what he did
Well, he burned the house down to the ground
GTBBH... with the wife and to have some kind of life
And to wake up and break up again
Good to be back home... (x2)
GTBBH... on a love tip, gotta keep a grip
When the ship's going down, you can flip
GTBBH... off the junk food, seen as a clean dude
And instill a clean bill of health
GTBBH... hear the sounds of the city all around
And the music, the new licks you found
GTBBH... at the Lane for a relegation game
As the boys get caned once again
Good to be back home... (x4)
I'm not homeless, I'm just restless
I get itchy feet and reckless
I've been travelling so long, cracking
I don't really know what is happening
Here is there is anywhere and home is my ass on a chair
Then I wish I was gone and then I wish I was home
Then I wish I was gone (AWOL) then I wish I was home (AWOL)
AWOL, AWOL
Then I wish I was gone (AWOL) then I wish I was home (AWOL)
Hello home...
