The Divine Comedy - Come Home Billy Bird
William wakes with his clothes on
The morning call has been and gone
And he might not make the
flight but he will try. (yeah)
Bit by bit it comes back to him
A bunch of Belgian businessmen
And a strange drinking game - why oh why?
Come home Billy Bird,
International Business Traveller
Come home Billy Bird,
He hails a cab but the driver sucks
He drives real slowly and he talks so much
That it hurts Billy Bird's aching brain.
He runs from the cab to the check-in desk
She says no way but William begs
Onhis knees please please please well okay
Come home Billy Bird,
International Business Traveller
Come home Billy Bird.
Drenched in sweat he finds his seat
And with the luggage
squeezed down beneath his feet
He begins to think
that things can't get no worse.
And then a voice says bags
that can't be stowed
In the overhead lockers must go below
In the hold - please let go. Thank you, Sir.
Come home Billy Bird,
International Business Traveller
Come home Billy Bird,
Come home William,
He runs on past the carousel
Screaming damn my luggage all to Hell
I can buy a new shirt and tie anyday!
He rides from the airport into town
To the highschool football ground
Where his son has just
begun the big football game.
Come home Billy Bird,
International Business Traveller
Come home Billy Bird,
International Business Traveller
Come home Billy Bird,
International Business Traveller
Come home Billy Bird,
International Business Traveller
