Distant Shore
BILLY BRAGG, SIMON EDWARDS, MARTYN BAKER, IAN MC LAGAN, BENJAMIN NORMAN MANDELSON, LOUIS EDMONDS
Everyone knows
That there's no place like home
But I'm just seeking refuge
In a world full of storms
Washed up on a distant shore
Can't go home anymore
The natives are hostile
Whatever I say
The thing they fear most is
That I might want to stay
By their side on a distant shore
Can't go home anymore
I escape my tormentors
By crossing the sea
What I cannot escape is
Memory
Far away on a distant shore
Can't go home anymore
