Standing on the wrong side of glory
With a suitcase in my hand.
Waiting for a train to take me
To the promised land
Here is the surprise:
A nation of empty eyes
A carousel of pride
That took me home and told me lies
The day passed by like sand in a vice
'Twas not a happy wandering like scotch on ice
Inflated gloom 'til one sank thrice
Despair commands a hefty price
Big Sirens Big Country
Big Water Big memory
Bending backwards and forwards in the blue sea blue sea.
Watching over me is a blue dog
He's a word and not a sight to see.
Bending backwards and forwards
With the ache of love.
All the missing Europeans dig for gold
And trample beauty underfoot
