about

This song is about an English backpacker who didn't come back.

lyrics

WHEN YOU COME BACK

What did I used to cook before I met you?
So weird to go back to cooking on my own
The vegetables mock me from the crisper
They know this is lame
Without you here to stir it up
I think I’ll go get take away curry again

When you come
Will you come
Won’t you come back
Yeah when you come
Will you come
Won’t you come back
When you come
Will you come
Baby won’t you come back?

When you come back
You can get up and buy the paper
Cos you always wake up too early anyway
Then we’re going to stay in bed all day
Make love, read, listen to the rain
And if someone comes knocking on our front door
We’ll just hide under the covers ‘til they go away

Back pack all packed ready to go
My baby he’s on his way back
I want my airport moment
When he comes back

When you were here
You know you used to be so noisy
Chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter chatter
Shut up shut up shut up shut up
But now all of this silence looms louder
Than you ever could be
When you come back
Won’t you sing ‘til three
Like you used to do with me?

Flash back back track
On your flight path
My baby he’s on his way back
The bird in the hand flies south
All the way back

Cos you know full well I don’t want to live in England
It’s too damn cold and the food there makes me fat
Well it’s my personal health that you really should consider
If you care about my heart and you care about my figure
You’ll be out that door and on the next plane back

When you come
Will you come
Won’t you come

When you come
Will you come
Won’t you come
Back yeah baby back?
