Far Far Away Lyrics
I've sen the brigges of the world and they' re for real
I've had a red light of the wrist without me even gettin' kissed
It still seems so unreal
I've seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska
I've seen the sunset in the east and in the west
I've song the glory that was Rome
And passed the hound dog singer's home
It still seems for the best
And I'm far far away
With my head up in the clouds
And I'm far away with my feel down in the crowds
Lettin' loose around the world
But the call of home is loud still as loud
And felt the silence hangin' low in no mans land
And all those spanish nights were fine
It was not only from the wine
It still seems all in hand
The grand Bahama islands stories catty on
And all those arigato smiles
Stay in your memory for a while
There still seems more to come
With my head up in the clouds
And I'm far away with my feet down in the crowds
And I'm far far away
But the sound of home is loud still as loud
And I'm far far away
With my head up in the clouds
And I'm far far away
With my feet down in the crowds
Lettin' loose around the world
But the call from home is loud still as loud
I genuinely like this song. It has meaningful lyrics and a great glam-rock tune. In my opinion, the lyrics explain how one can travel the world over and visit some of the most amazing places, but, ultimately, home is the place we love the most. Great song and an amazing band!
This song was played at my Uncle's funeral a couple of days ago. He grew up as a massive Slade fan and this song was absolutely perfect for the occasion. He is now unfortunately far, far away but the call of home will always be as loud.
Rest in peace David.
Noddy wrote the lyrics while they were on tour in America and he was literally looking over the red lights of the Mississippi.
It's such a great song, why noone had commented on this ? ;/ When I listen to it, I always have these 3 words in my mind - Home, sweet home. ;)
This song is great. Imagining all those places...Noddy does it again!
I doubt the 2 and 3.
why rhyme real to unreal? why talk about a wrist?
My version:
I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi I've seen the preachers of the world in Theophoreal I've had a red light affairiste Without me even gettin' kissed It still seems so unreal
@vphi I have the verse about "red light of the wrist" always felt as a suicide thought. Red light of your life going out from your veins after you cut. Also the other verse - without me even getting kissed - fits, in my opinion. The red light out off the wrist...and the unhappy guy, not ever kissed,might be gone. But he did not do it, he went on and he is happy about it ..cause there is more to come .
