ah, look at all the lonely people

i'm not really a lyrics sort of person. i'm far more concerned with heavy/grimy beats, scratches, slick guitar riffs, electro elements, synths and all that contributes to the layering of good music. melodies too. the construction of sound me friends!

but after having listened to mark ronson's and lily allen's collabo on remaking kaiser chief's Oh My God with a wikkid soul vibe an excessively large number of times, the lyrics struck a chord. (yuck! cliche!) cos i think it describes my gallavanting around england. the sentiment is captured almsot perfectly. how often does that happen eh?

Time on your side that will never end

The most beautiful thing you can ever spend

But you work in a shirt with your nametag on it

Drifting apart like a plate tectonic

It don't matter to me

Cause all I wanted to be

Is a million miles from here

Somewhere more familiar

Too much time spent dragging the past up

I didn't see you not looking when I messed up

Settling down in your early twenties

Sucked more blood than a backstreet dentist

It don't matter to me

Cause all I wanted to be

Is a million miles from here

Somewhere more familiar

Oh my god, I can't believe it

I've never been this far away from home

And Oh my, god I can't believe it

I've never been this far away from home

And Oh my, god I can't believe it

I've never been this far away from home

And Oh my, god I can't believe it

I've never been this far away from home

Great rulers look for greater glory

The only thing growing is our history

Knock me down I'll get right back up again

I'll come back stronger than a powered up Pac-Man

It don't matter to me

Cause all I wanted to be

was a million miles from here

Somewhere more familiar

Oh my god, I can't believe it

I've never been this far away from home

(repeat many many times)

well technically i've been further, but never alone. so yes, it counts! woohoo.
