Steve Gibbons - Home from Home lyrics
1947 — standing in the rain You’re bound to catch a cold, you better catch a train To Liverpool, or Manchester, or Birmingham, or anywhere You can get a job and send some money to Jamaica 5 Jamaica rum Jamaica sun Jamaica seem so very far away You drive a bus You make no fuss 10 You tell yourself you’re going home someday — Some sweet day 1952 — you meet your future wife She comes from county Cork You love the way she talks 15 She’s pregnant at the Registrar You’ve saved enough to buy a car A honeymoon in Blackpool and a postcard to Jamaica Jamaica rum Jamaica sun 20 Jamaica seem so very far away You drive a bus You make no fuss You tell yourself you’re going home someday — Some sweet day 25 1955 and baby number four makes life a little harder Work a little longer Livin’ in a back to back with never-never television Cricket, lovely cricket, and a parcel from Jamaica 1967 — twenty years in Brum 30 It’s a family occasion Everyone’s invited Lots of drinks An’ Sergeant Pepper, Dr. Kitch and Desmond Dekker 1970 — you’re still drivin’ 35 1980 — they’re still thrivin’ Take a family photograph and send it to Jamaica Jamaica rum Jamaica sun Jamaica seem so very far away 40 You drive a bus You make no fuss You tell yourself you’re going home someday — Some sweet day |
