about

When I toured the US a few years ago I encountered many homeless veterans. The recurring theme from the conversations we had was that there was nowhere for them to “just be”, that they “didn’t fit anywhere anymore” and so couldn’t go ‘home’. This song is dedicated to all those veterans.

lyrics

Can’t go home

Take no prisoners
Stand alone
Make no contact
I’m on my own
I don’t know where I’ve been
Can’t see behind me
And there’s no way in
But I can’t go home
I can’t go home

She took my picture
Off the wall
Threw her ring
Into a drawer
Made another vow to shed no tears
She won’t call me
There’s no love before me
Cause I can’t go home
I can’t go home

I try so hard
To make it through
When I can’t go home

Take no prisoners
It’s what they said
Don’t come back here
Unless you’re dead
But I’m dead inside
And I don’t know how
I did what they told me
Now it’s all too loud
So I can’t go home
I can’t go home

I can’t go home
No I can’t go home
I can’t go home
