For those who wish they were someplace else (You know where)

[HEyHEY]

Good tune that means alot to those who've lived it. Someone did this a bit back too.

I'm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket to my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.

Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Silently for me.

1. God, I hate that song

[HEyHEY]

2. No way ! Why?

[BigMcLargehuge]

3. I can't stand sentimental bullshit

Give me music with some AARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! to it. It always makes me feel better, and if I am someplace I don't want to be, the more fury the better.

Simon and Garfunkle just piss me off in general. I can't stand singer songwriters, or folk singers.

My sig line should be "If I had a hammer, they'd be no more folk singers"

[HEyHEY]

4. I love sentimental stuff

If I can relate, another is "Home for a rest"

[BigMcLargehuge]

5. I can't relate, maybe that's my problem with it

I guess I get overwhelmed with what's going on around me on a much greater scale and have a really hard time with inward reflection. There is some emotional music that I like, some of it even personal and sentimental, but it has a passion that Simon and Garfunkle just do not have in any way shape or form.

this is about a close as I get to sentimental music -

The Last Straw
by Marillion

Hotel hobbies padding dawns hollow corridors
A typewriter cackles out a stream of memories
Drying out a conscience, evicting a nightmare
Opening the doors for the dreams to come home
We live out lives in private shells
Ignore our senses and fool ourselves
To thinking that out there there's someone else cares
Someone to answer all our prayers

Are we too far gone, are we so irresponsible
Have we lost our balls, or do we just not care
We're terminal cases that keep talking medicine
Pretending the end isn't quite that near

We make futile gestures, act to the cameras
With our made up faces and PR smiles
And when the angel comes down, down to deliver us
We'll find out that after all, we're only men of straw

But everything is still the same
Passing the time passing the blame
We carry on in the same old way
We'll find out we left it too late one day to say what we meant to say

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the water
Those problems seem to arise the ones you never really thought of
The feeling you get is similar to something like drowning
Out of your mind, you're out of your depth, you should have taken soundings
Clutching at straws, we're clutching at straws

And if you ever come across us don't give us your sympathy
You can buy us a drink and just shake our hands
And you'll recognise by the reflection in our eyes
That deep down inside we're all one and the same

We're clutching at straws
We're still drowning Clutching at straws

[HEyHEY]

6. Well, have you never spent a long time away from friends and family?

That's where I relate to it.

[BigMcLargehuge]

7. Sure, I lived in the UK for a year and a half at college and had to

make new friends over there. I wanted to go home, I missed my folks and brothers and all my friends. But when I was feeling really shitty about it I listened to Dead Kenndey's or Too Much Joy.

Something like this always made me feel better -

Long Haired Guys from England
by Too much Joy

all the girls in the music biz
have credit cards they subscribe to ms.
but they only want to fuck
long haired guys from england

there's this girl at my record company
i dig her but she doesn't like me
i met her boyfriend the other night
he had a pony tail and he didn't talk right

he was a long haired guy from england
long haired guy from united kingdom

all the girls in this here bar
will treat you like you're a star
don't get excited it's just luck
they'll ignore you if the guy from the cult shows up

'cause he's a long haired guy from england
long haired guy from united kingdom

i'm getting on an aeroplan
going someplace where the girls are sane
i bet in london i could get a date
'cause i'm a short haired guy from the united states

i'm not a long haired guy from england
long haired guy from united kingdom

that's the end of this here song
it's about as short as my hair is long
so i'm getting on my motorbike
going someplace where the girls don't like

longhaired guys from england
long haired guy from united kingdom

8. Well I like it, HeyHey!

Thanks...even though I'm home already.
