Goodbye To The Country by Field Music

Goodbye To The Country Lyrics

We'll say goodbye to the old place
Don't look at the faces left
I'm sure it'll be good fun
Making money at your kid's expense
To a place where everything's easy
Feeding my baby with stamps
And if they ask, why did you come?
Don't you know there's a real war on?
Did the papers not tell you about it?

Don't you worry, I will be fine
With a knife at my neck and my very last dime
I'll get a job in an office block
With a swish canteen and an Oxbridge tie
And if I get sick my sister will treat me
I hear it's all free and so f- f- easy
And if they ask, why did you come?
Don't you know there's a real war on?
Did the papers not tell you about it?

And if they ask, why did you come?
And if they say I should go home
Send me back where I belong
Take a walk with me, I'll show you some
