- Take Me Home Lyrics / with translationsTake that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothin'
So I find out all I can
There's a fire that's been burnin'
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Seems so long I've been waitin'
Still don't know what for
There's no point escaping
I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can't turn off my feelings
Like they're turnin' off the light
But I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
So take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
(Oh Lord)
'Cos I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
(Ohh ohh)
Take that look of worry
Mine's an ordinary life
(Ohh ohh)
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night
(Ohh ohh)
I've got no far horizons
I don't wish upon a star
(Ohh ohh)
They don't think that I listen
(Ohh ohh)
Oh but I know who they are
(Ohh ohh)
And I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
So take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
('Cos I don't remember)
Take, take me home
(Oh Lord)
Well I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
But I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)

(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
'Cos I don't remember
(Take, take me home)
