lyrics

She travelled the world cos neither London nor Paris contained
Enough clues to explain the girl who lived inside her, untamed.

Yeah, she travelled the world, by land and sea and phone
She travelled the world, but she never ever, ever left home.

She needed to leave behind all the problems that kept her down
But by the banks of the Nile and the Seine and the Rhine
She was still in her hometown.

Yeah, she travelled the world, stood in every lonely harbour
She travelled the world, but never one step farther

In Jaipur she was lonely, in Tokyo she felt small
In Cairo she was only, a schoolgirl after all.
In Moscow she saw despair, in Lagos she was unseen,
In Dublin she sought repair - got drunk in a shebeen.

Yeah, she travelled the world and never changed one thing.
She travelled the world, just avoiding and never escaping.

And when she finally made it, all the way back home,
She really had to fake it, pretend she knew what to know.

She travelled the world, but home is where the home is
You can't change that with stamps from London, Munich or Paris

And when she finally made it, all the way back home,
She really had to fake it, pretend she knew what to, what to, what to know.

And with the crowds gone, and her all alone,
she saw too late, you can never leave home.
She saw too late, you can never leave home.
