I always thought this song is about leaving loved ones behind while away touring and Neil missing everyone back home while he is over seas. But it's part of the business of being a musician but he also enjoys it as a weakness as he hungers for world travel and new experiences and meeting interesting people which stimulates him. I think he is partly torn between with missing home a great deal and special and specific places at home and family while living a jet set life. I think it is a quiet ode to:
'I've been doing this 10 years now, it's still the same old, same old, nothings changed living this life, but I do enjoy some parts of it as it stimulates me, but I'd rather be back home'.
@helterskel I agree. Especially his references to Piha: Under a Lion Rock/Marine Parade. It's dreaming of home. I can relate living overseas from NZ for 20 years
