The Day I Get Home Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

When this young man comes rolling home 

The lamp posts move and in the road 

I sing and dance in falling rain 

It's good to be back home again 

The roads of air that map the globe 

Take me away to places new 

I'm lucky I can get around 

I'm taking off and touching down 

When I get home it's much the same 

The tax returns return again 

The news is on it isn't good 

I see the trees but not the wood

The road stretches out as far as I can see 

And I eat the lines ahead of me 

It's experience 

As the days unfold 

But there's nothing quite like 

The day I get home 

When this young man comes rolling home 

The cheese on toast is in the grill 

Memories are filed away 

I come and go, it's fun that way 

The roads of air that map the globe 

Go East and West and North and South 

I like to look and see the sights 

I stay up late and hit the heights 

Photos 

When I return things haven't changed 

Neither have I, I like to think 

The world's an oyster on a plate 

I get around and get up late
