The Traveller (lyrics)

"You're bored of home,""You're bored of work,""You're bored of everything you do""and it shows ‘cause you know that the crows in the fields were too dull,""they aren't bright enough for you""-""You want something more exotic,""more hypnotic than a pinwheel of red and gold""and all the south, the east are waiting""‘cause for you the west is getting old""-""Your ambition,""to make the decision to travel,""the world keeps growing;""So you pack your bags,""you leave the house""Hop on a plane""‘cause you're knowin’""just where you're goin’,""but when you're there you don't feel so sure""‘Cause the Champs d'Élysées""doesn't look quite like it did""in the brochure""No""You've always wanted to drive yourself down the shining coast of Italy, but you're stuck on a motorway behind a truck""and you're thinking bitterly,""how did you slow down,""how did you get here?""The most exciting time is when you can move up into second gear""How did you end up here?""-""No pools of turquoise,""no French Corner cafés;""No wise old villagers,""no chinese lantern parades""How did you set yourself up just to let yourself down?""At least as consolation,""you still have your hometown""At least there's home""(x4)""-""At least there's home""(x2)"
