Testo: XTC. English Settlement. Runaways.

Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways,
please come home
oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways,
please come home
daddy hit you in a temper,
but he's sorry now,
please come home
just a quarrel had with mummy,
just a family row,
please come home,
you caught mum chasing daddy with a knife
don't cry, don't cry
you ran away to escape from the fights
don't cry, don't cry
now you're lost in a maze of neon light
and she's worried,
he's worried she's worried, oh... .

oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways
please come home
oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways
please come home

pacing street-lamps on the highway,
haystack for your bed
please come home in the morning
we will find you in papers to be read
please come home
you heard screams from the warmth of your bed
don't cry, don't cry
you slumbered on without being fed
don't cry, don't cry
now there's no more tears to be shed
and she's sorry, he's sorry, she's sorry, oh...
oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways
please come home
oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways
please come home
