Lyrics
Lunch
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Cracking my neck in the consulate line
While a homesick American flag's hanging by
In the fluorescent light
Up close, I see how they stitched on the stars and stripes
If I were honest, and if you were brave
You’d ask me a question and stay for the answer
I like the way that you tell all your tales
Would it kill you to listen
And I get homesick before I go away
I get homesick before I go away, away
La, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Green origami, needles and grapes
You cry like an army, you drive like p-plates
There is much to be said for
The way that you brake when a red light's in front of you
You ask me to give you my world, ah
The day (you ask me to give ya, world, ah, the day)
We'll do this together
We got years to waste (got years to waste)
You got lots of persuasions, and time to explain
But I’ve only got time for lunch
And I get homesick before I go away
I get homesick before I go away
Before I go away
Before I go away
Oh, oh (hey)
La, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
