I Never Saw My Hometown Till I Went Around The World Lyrics - Singles - Icicle Works

I NEVER SAW MY HOMETOWN 'TIL I WENT ROUND THE WORLD 

Ian McNabb 

Love is like a razor when you're looking for a shave 

Shed off all your dignity I'll race you to your grave 

The driver's getting sentimental talking 'bout this girl 

I never saw my hometown 'til 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 it's getting quite absurd 

I never saw my hometown 'til I went round the world 

Tuesday night The Rain Parade come crashing in my room 

Matt was stoned and Beggars phoned the chart position's gloom 

You'd better call the embassy my hair is gonna curl 

I never saw my hometown 'til I went round the world 

Been awake for thirty hours I think I'm going down 

With some habituary illness that's 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 'bout the folks at home this DJ thinks I'm weird 

Crawl around the floor pick up the beer cans that you hurl 

You saw your hometown 'til you went round the world 

Love is like a razor when you're looking for a shave 

Shed off all your dignity I'm gonna race you to your grave 

Getting sentimental thinking 'bout a girl 

I never saw my hometown 'til I went round the world, no 

I never saw my hometown 'til I went round the world, no 

I never saw my hometown 'til I went round the world
