Andy: “Them EMI rung me up and asks, ‘Would you write a song for Jane Birkin?’. You know, ‘Je t'aime, no Max, no. Not in me hairdo’. . . her. She wants it on the theme of returning to England for good (from her long sojourn in France). I facetiously knocked this up, posted it off without a second thought, then days later. . . BANG!. . . it hits me. I've inadvertently written a deeply personal thing about my current attitude to travel. This is so about me, I had no idea. Her lackeys got back to me to say that she thought it was too jolly. Oh well, c'est la vie. That's French for ‘in the lavvy’.”
[THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
That vase could do with flowers. That fireplace needs wood. I'm going to be around so I'll fix this house up good. Well me, I'm sick of travelling, but now I'm home to stay. So I won't be heading nowhere, I gave my suitcase away. I gave it to a beggar, a saint too poor to sin. He said that he could use it, to keep his troubles in. Well me, I'm sick of travelling, it's been all work no play. So I won't be heading nowhere, I gave my suitcase away. I know it was expensive and a birthday gift from you. I hope you're not offended, that's the last thing I intended to do. Well me, I'm sick of travelling so here is where I'll lay and I won't be heading nowhere, I gave my suitcase away. Well me, I'm tired of roaming around. Home is where the heart is so the smartest people say. So I won't be heading nowhere, I gave my suitcase away. I gave my suitcase away.

Great song!!! Like so many of the Warbles demoes, I'm like, "this didn't make it on (insert album name here) because ?!?!?!?!?!?!" I would sub this for "Wounded Horse" off Wasp Star any day... Let me know if you have any questions or need me to re-format...cheers! Steve Stearns Intro: A A/G# F#m E D E A Verse1 A A/G# F#m E That vase could do with flowers.
