What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Listen, yeah
2
A lifetime of dreaming, visualizing paradise
3
I woke up, rolled over and told my girl we're leaving
4
It's time to sacrifice a lot
5
'Cause you ain't happy with your job
6
And round here it's like nothin' seems appealing
7
So let me know you feel the same
8
Throw your life into a case and we'll depart from Victoria this evening
9
And then embark upon a path of rediscovery
10
Searching for the fruits from the lost garden of Eden
11
I'm wondering if I runaway and came back another day,
12
Then would the young men who roll with metal put the guns away
13
And would the devil have took charge or would the slum be safe
14
I pray the latter's right for everybody's mumsy's sake.
15
And if I disappear for years and reappear
16
Would my natural intuition still be crystal clear?
17
Or would I have lost clarity?
18
In this trivial pursuit we're walking through so casually
19
I gotta leave, I gotta go,
20
There's nothing here for me no more
21
I gotta be free, I gotta be
22
Somewhere that I can just be me.
23
And I run run runaway, run run runaway,
24
Run run runaway, I runaway.
25
We share a last cigarette, then walk into the station
26
Purchase two tickets to an alien destination
27
Board the train and witness pain on all the faces of multi-cultural races
28
But not me and my girl we're breaking free
29
Like an escapist, 'cause we need to escape this
30
And I for one have got my mind made up,
31
Even if where we stay is make-shift
32
I can't remain in this domain of semi ape shit, because all I see is hatred
33
I wonder if I disappeared how many men would miss me
34
Or would they all forget like I erased my name from history?
35
I'm still trying yet to make a break within the chain of pain and misery
36
And vanish off the planet like a mystery.
37
And if I did return and things were the same or worse?
38
You'd see the gear stick shift and
39
Then the I would reverse and I'd be straight back on my travels
40
Burning rubber over gravel 'til we see the English Channel
41
I gotta leave, I gotta go,
42
There's nothing here for me no more
43
I gotta be free, I gotta be
44
Somewhere that I can just be me.
45
And I run run runaway, run run runaway,
46
Run run runaway, I runaway.
47
As the carriage pulls away,
48
I pull my lady closer and I tell her she's okay
49
'Cause if we never broke the barricades today we'd always be afraid
50
And left to feel threatened in this dark and deadly maze
51
But now I've come of age,
52
And as the train starts enterin' suburbia a smile comes across my face
53
The unwinding of eternal rage,
54
That was locked up inside just like my mates behind prison gates
55
If I could runaway and come back another day,
56
I'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day.
57
Kick back and just enjoy the raves,
58
With a lager and a spliff to blaze.
59
If I ever contemplate returning to this crazy place
60
I'd leave it long enough so they don't recognize my face
61
I'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day
62
While I roll upon the roads along the motorway
63
I gotta leave, I gotta go,
64
There's nothing here for me no more
65
I gotta be free, I gotta be
66
Somewhere that I can just be me.
67
And I run run runaway, run run runaway,
68
Run run runaway, I runaway.
