Please go home
Well maybe I'm talking too fast
But I won't be the first or the last
In the sea of the thousand you cast
Come on, please go home
I don't have to ask what you do
I just have to look to get you
It means nothing to me to get through
I don't want to be on my own
Cause I can't talk much better alone
But I don't have to ring like a phone
Won't you please go home
In some early part of your days
You were told of the devious ways
That you thought you could get without pay
You reach a state of your mind
Where it's madness to look and to find
Your false affections so kind
TrackTalk
That high-pitched whine on it is Charlie's wife screaming. Few sounds on it, lots of reverb, ages mixing it.
