lyrics

Goin' Down To Helston 2007

Well I'm goin' down to Helston
yeah that much is true
yep, I'm really goin' down
to start my life anew
used up all my options
where I was before
in a noddy house in Hertfordshire
with a dinky new front door

Goin' where the weather's fine
all part of god's great design
headin' down that motorway
time I made my getaway

Found myself a house
way up on a hill
needs a little fixin' up
if I can pay the bill
gonna park up my car
fire up my guitar
write me up a mess of blues
underneath the stars

I'm breaking continuity
settin' up home by the sea
I know it's gonna hurt like hell
to leave the folks I know so well

Hey, the way the world is today
global warming on the way
Chinese hoards across the bay
public ignorance on display
load my album on your Pod
with ya mobile you can ring up god
'til it's stolen by some yob
get off the street and get yourself a job

Like a kitchen Porter

Goin' where the weather's fine
all part of god's design
packed up what is mine
one way trip right down the line

Got no time for foot n' mouth
move my carcass way down south
all my friends be welcome here
come on down any time of year

Goin' where the weather's fine
all part of god's great design
got no time for foot n' mouth
move my carcass way down south
down Helston way

Goin' down to Helston x2

Way down south...
