Shapes in the dark exchanging their currency
In the twenty first century you get no change
Surefooted walk and go on a mouthful of hate
You could use a break
Take your big brown eyes home
You deserve a little better
And the name on her letter was freak
In the streets you're walking follow you in
Like a long running argument you'll never win
Somewhere in the distance she'll run into him
Meanwhile down on the wrist the watch says ten
A man in a black hat stands up and says
Heaven doesn't wait for those impaled
On the horns of your kind of dilemma
Your Holy Grail
Wherever you wander
Wherever you roam
I'll keep a bright white light
Shining 'bove the door for you
Your home sweet home
The dappled sunlight on a park bench in June
Heavy red in my belly, we'd better go soon
I can't linger
Can't feel my toes
Wide as Ishmael's whale
There she blows
It's always later than you think
Life shorter everyday
We got time for one more drink
And do you have the means to pay ?
What do ya say ?
Wherever you wander
Wherever you roam
I'll keep a bright white light
Shining 'bove the door for you
Your home sweet home
Lyrics by:
Squire
Available on:
Joe Louis single (as b-side) (3.41)
Details:
This fine b-side sees not only the continuing influence of Bob Dylan on Squire's 21st century output, but also that of Jimmy Page - compare the outro of Home Sweet Home to the intro of 'Dazed And Confused', (from Led Zeppelin I'); this is perhaps meant to be a musical joke - the author is 'dazed and confused' after the consumption of alcohol and revelry in the song.
