Oh, Inverted World

New Slang (2021 Remaster)

I left my home and my family
Set sail and everybody helped
pack my bag
full of hope

And if you see my muma
tell her I am doing fine
Don’t tell the truth,
it’d break her heart

Nobody here
knows me
like they do
back home

Nobody here
loves me
like they did
back home

Every time I close my eyes
I see their faces, hear their cries
as they disappeared overboard

And you can tell my baby
I think about her every day
And I hope and pray
she don’t grow up too fast

Nobody here
knows me
like they do
back home

Nobody here
loves me
like they did
back home

I thought this one ought to sit alongside ‘An Eye For An Eye’…. 

…the next song will be a bit more cheery, I promise!!

Left My Home…

Written by James Geer

Night in the jungle, black and green
Invisible things are happening
The midnight sky obscured by clouds
Dark wheels are turning obscured by shrouds

Out in the brush, small creatures stir
Hyper vigilant, alert, unsure
They know a predator is out and about
When it’s too late, they scream and shout

The sound of thunder, the smell of rain
Has me thinking of you again
What was it that you thought I said
For you to treat me as if I’m dead

Sleep now, my precious, pleasant dreams
Of wedding cakes and tambourines
When you awaken, all will be right
Your face transfigured in the light
