lyrics

Freedom restored on a very short leash.
Bob & Mark leave behind the closed door.
I have my records, books and a chair.
The bare walls ignore me all the same.
If I was a proud man (or even a little bit brave), I’d make such a fuss.
Oh wouldn’t you be proud?

I’ve got freedom but I can’t go home.
Yeah, I’ve got freedom but I can’t go home.
Tired of all the ties, bringing me down.

The Crystal Palace used to sit on that hill, before it burned to the ground below.
If I told you the truth, this place doesn’t exist.
I wasn’t around so you can’t blame me.
If I asked nicely, would you be prisoner #2?
Maybe I’d stand it if you couldn’t stand it too?

Come and get me and take me home.
Come along and take me home.
Come and get me and take me home.
Tired of all the ties, bringing me down.
Come and get me and take me home.
Come along and take me home.
