Vancouver Lyrics

Lyric discussion by TonyM101 

Cover art for Vancouver lyrics by Genesis

This reads almost like an alternative version of She\'s Leaving Home by The Beatles. That song tells of a girl leaving home to get away from her held-back life with her well-meaning parents who don\'t understand what she needs.\n\nVancouver tells of a girl who tries to leave home in the night after unspecified events including her parents saying things that upset her. Once out, she realises how difficult it will be and the problems at home seem simpler ("I may be wrong but home seems so much more friendly now").\n\nShe returns home and is in bed without anyone knowing she went. In the morning, her mum apologises for what was said.

@TonyM101 My wife asked about a crossword clue involving "She's Leaving Home". I said it sounds like Vancouver. Ended up here. Nice to be backed up.
