I dig this poppy alternative rocker. This is so tasty. It's nothing Earth-shattering, but it's just so good.
lyrics
Nomads in Love
By Forrest Hill
Robbie’s always looking for a place to hide,
couldn’t stand to see the light.
Gary’s on a back street, trying to keep warm.
Julie’s all alone living up in the Bronx,
growing food in an abandoned lot.
And I’m still searching for an easy way out.
Won’t you take me away
Won’t you throw me a line
Won’t you give me your heart baby
and tell me you’re mine
There’s a place for us in the sun
Let’s walk around the word like nomads in love,
Nomads in love.
Jimmie’s got a back that’s about to break,
from all the work he’s got to do.
Sarah’s online, searching for another date, tempting fate.
Sunshine’s living large in her mind,
flying her flag for Palestine.
And I’m just looking for a way to fly.
Won’t you take me away
Won’t you throw me a line
Won’t you give me your heart baby
and tell me you’re mine
There’s a place for us in the sun
Let’s walk around the word like nomads in love,
Nomads in love.
Will we really get that far,
or will we die like a falling like a star,
burning quickly in the night.
Let’s spread our wings and fly,
Across the crimson sky,
Floating like a satellite.
Janet ran off and married a Scot,
bought a house and a garden plot.
Jades touching rainbow in the middle, of the day, she says.
Dimi’s on the outside living high on the street,
fighting a war that will never cease.
And I’m just sitting on a grassy hill.
Won’t you take me away
Won’t you throw me a line
Won’t you give me your heart baby
and tell me you’re mine
There’s a place for us in the sun
Let’s walk around the word like nomads in love,
Nomads in love.
