I left the North
I travelled South
I found a tiny house
And I can’t help the way I feel
Oh yes, you can kick me
And you can punch me
And you can break my face
But you won’t change the way I feel
‘Cause I love you
Oh…

And is it really so strange?
Oh, is it really so strange?
Oh, is it really so, really so strange?
I say NO, you say YES
(and you will change your mind)

I left the South
I travelled North
I got confused – I killed a horse
I can’t help the way I feel
Oh yes, you can punch me
And you can butt me
And you can break my spine
But you won’t change the way I feel
‘Cause I love you
Oh…

And is it really so strange?
Oh, is it really so strange?
Oh, is it really so, really so strange?
I say NO, you say YES
(But you will change your mind)

I left the North again
I travelled South again
And I got confused – I killed a nun
I CAN’T HELP THE WAY I FEEL
I CAN’T HELP THE WAY I FEEL
I CAN’T HELP THE WAY I FEEL
(I lost my bag in Newport Pagnell)

Why is the last mile the hardest mile?
My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes
And I realised, I realised
I could never
I could never, never, never, go back home again
