Gotta Gettaway Lyrics
Gotta gotta gettaway, gotta gotta gettaway
You know there ain't no street like home
To make you feel so all alone
Plenty of folk to tell you what to do
But they don't speak the same language as you
(Chorus:)
They wanna have me here
Have me and hold me near
Hold me down fasten and tie
But the cars are all flashing me
Bright lights are passing me
I feel life passing me by
The fuss is buzzing in my head
My father argued and my mother begged
It's not their words ain't tugging at me
But gotta stretch them break them get myself free
(Chorus)
Gotta gotta gettaway, gotta gotta gettaway
I'm leaving home
WHY hasn't anyone commented this song? I LOVE IT! but, it's pretty obviously to see what it's about...
Yeah a fantastic song about jake Burns' desire to leave home, a definate crowd pleaser so its a great pity this song is now left out of any set list, but I do know that Jake feels this song has now lost its relevence
I got a live album of slf called wasted youth and they do this song. It great the crowd all start singing the gota get away bit in the intro ohhhhhh so good it like a drug
Was looking for "Good for nothing" but it is not here. Perhaps my computer is broken.
