Rosie Trentham - Home Sweet Boy Lyrics

This place will never be my home
So many people
But the feeling you are all alone
I blame it on those magazines
Driving me seek my dreams
I hope those dreams come true
Hope those dreams come find me soon

Cos I filled my head with education
Filled my heart with aspiration
But I'd never seen you cry so much
As when I said "let's stay in touch"

How you loved me, Home Sweet Boy
And I loved you too, Home Sweet Boy
I went because I felt so sure
That somewhere else could offer more
So I left my home, Home Sweet Boy

The coin I flipped told me to stay
But I flipped a second time
And money tempted me to move away
There's money here, I don't dispute it
But it's not that fairly distributed
Now I dream of our days by the sea
They mean more than money does to me

Now the constant traffic's ebb and flow
Is like the sea I used to know
Endless days in spray and sand
Idyll, boredom, hand in hand

How I chased you Home Sweet Boy
Can't replace you, Home Sweet Boy
While I still seek that social whirl
You've found yourself another girl
Now I grieve for you

My old life gave me windows into other people's lives
Local pride on the tide, battered cod and battered wives
All the beauty, all the rot
All in one small half sized pot
Now I am just surveyor to a million strangers' faces
On a long conveyor to a list of faceless places
All the beauty, all the farce
Just in a bigger pint sized glass

How I loved you Home Sweet Boy
How I miss you Home Sweet Boy
I hope that I will see you again
In someone else, in other men
Cos I need a home, Home Sweet Boy
