Lyrics Come On Home - Belle and Sebastian

Come on home
There's a hole the size of ancient Rome
Come on back
You're giving me a heart attack

We are young
Running through the fields of life
Playing all the games that people play
When you see them in the films from yesterday

Give a chance to the old
Set the record straight for the welfare state
Give a chance to the young
Everyone deserves a life in the sun

Twenty years
I know that's when my love appeared
Twenty turns
We took together round the sun

We are old
Trekking in the fields of snow
Follow in my footsteps, noble page
Never fear from time or cold or age

Give a chance to the old
Set the record straight on the welfare state
Give a chance to the young
Everyone deserves a life in the sun

I don't care if it's cold outside
Cos my baby keeps me warm
And I don't care what my boss is saying
Cos I left my mind at home
I know you worry 'bout the way we live
The things we could have done
But if you're loving other people close
You will never be alone

I watch and I wait
I know that we'll never be together in that way
Doesn't stop me wishing
Doesn't stop me praying
Doesn't stop me wishing
Doesn't stop me praying

Come on home
There is room beside me on the throne
We are king and queen of 'might have been'
Heirs apparent to the scene

Come on back
We are racing the eternal track
Step for step and toe to toe
I will take your arm and off we go

We will try to be true
Often time corrupts what you thought you knew
We will try to be fair
If you hide your love it will wither and fade

Give a chance to the old
Set the record straight on the welfare state
Give a chance to the young
Everyone deserves a life in the sun
