about

I'd been travelling quite a bit and was longing for home, except I didn't really have one. This track contains Steve Vella's (engineer and co-producer) favourite line: "And I wish I was a Badger a Lizard or a Grizzly
A Polar or a Kodiak hell any kind of bear."

lyrics

Home
(B.R. Wood)

I’m the stay-at-home type trapped in the body of an adventurer
Endlessly adventuring all over the land
I travel through the shadowy valley
High up over the mountain deep down in the cave

Well I’ve woken up in bedrooms with the sunlight on the floorboards
I’ve woken up to music and the smell of toast and tea
And I’ve knocked on many front doors and I’ve passed through many hallways
I’ve seen some beautiful hat stands but I just can’t seem to hang my hat

I’m a lay-about playing the part of an action man
I wish I was good for nothing cause nothing is so good for me
I’m a settler got caught up in exploring
Trying to kick the habit and stay in one place

Well I’ll see a beautiful garden and I’ll lay there for a moment
There’s a whole world in a garden and so many gardens in the world
Oh my life’s packed up in boxes and it’s spread al over the country
It’s waiting there in darkness to be thrown out or moved in

I’m a homebody all dressed up like a party boy
Sipping my margarita and dreaming of a cup of tea
I’m just a bunch of molecules doing time as a human
A bag full of Identity I carry around

And I wish I was a Badger a Lizard or a Grizzly
A Polar or a Kodiak hell any kind of bear
I would amble through the summer I would hibernate through winter curled up
In my cozy cave beneath a sign that says “There’s no place like Home”
