Shelter Lyrics
Said it's wrong but you know that
The look on his face means he'll be back again.
See you later.
Saturday on the night train
With uptown boys who rail cocaine downtown.
Keep her waiting.
But it's a long time and you're not home.
Don't you feel like you're alone?
But it's a long time and you're alone.
Don't you know you can come home?
You don't feel, but you look fine.
No dial tone on the main line.
Said...
Laughing out to no one's joke.
Looking 'round but it's remote,
You won't see no one you know.
But it's a long time and you're not home.
Don't you feel like you're alone?
But it's a long time and you're alone.
Don't you know you can come home?
Running, wait, don't you look 'round.
Running, running, running eastbound, downtown.
Got nothing for you.
Shelter's waiting for ya!
I'm still waiting for ya
To come home.
But it's a long time and you're not home.
And you're not home.
Don't you feel like you're alone?
But it's a long time and you're alone.
Don't you know you can come home?
Shelter!
The look on his face means he'll be back again.
See you later.
Saturday on the night train
With uptown boys who rail cocaine downtown.
Keep her waiting.
Don't you feel like you're alone?
But it's a long time and you're alone.
Don't you know you can come home?
No dial tone on the main line.
Said...
Laughing out to no one's joke.
Looking 'round but it's remote,
You won't see no one you know.
Don't you feel like you're alone?
But it's a long time and you're alone.
Don't you know you can come home?
Running, running, running eastbound, downtown.
Got nothing for you.
Shelter's waiting for ya!
I'm still waiting for ya
To come home.
And you're not home.
Don't you feel like you're alone?
But it's a long time and you're alone.
Don't you know you can come home?

Said it's wrong but you know that The look on his face means he'll be back again. (See you later.) Saturday on the night train, With uptown boys who rail cocain downtown. Keep her waiting.
But it's a long time and you're not home. Don't you feel like you're alone? But it's a long time and you're alone. Don't you know you can come home?
You don't feel, but you look fine. No dial tone on the main line. Laughing out to no one's joke. Looking 'round but it's remote, You won't see no one you know.
But it's a long time and you're not home. Don't you feel like you're alone? But it's a long time and you're alone. Don't you know you can come home?
Running, wait, don't you look 'round. Running, running, running east bound, downtown. Got nothing for you. Shelter is waiting for ya! I'm still waiting for ya to come home.
But it's a long time and you're not home. And you're not home. Don't you feel like you're alone? But it's a long time and you're alone. Don't you know you can come home to shelter?
I love this song
this song is like a blueprint to what i would like to hear more of from these guys in the future
I think this song is someone talking to a friend who is depressed, and kind of out of it... Yup, not really that insightful I guess, but the overall song is really really good.
I definately think that this song is about a friend with a drug problem, maybe living on the streets, but the addiction has taken over and the person isn't interested in getting back to normality.
I'm going to see these guys in London in a few weeks, can hardly wait, brilliant sound.
TO ME IT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S TALKING TO A FEMALE FRIEND THAT IS INVOLVED WITH A BAD CROWD AND IS SAYING ITS NEVER TO LATE TO COME BACK HOME HENCE "SHELTER" AT LEAST THATS WHAT I THINK I'M PROBABLY WAY OFF, EH
frank in stien is right i totally agree with him
