Lyrics

Home and Dry [Top of the Pops - 2002/03/29]

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]

So my baby's on the road

Doing business, selling loads

Charming everyone there

With the sweetest smile

[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]

Oh tonight

I miss you

Oh tonight

I wish you

Could be here with me

But I won't see you

'Til you've made it back again

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]

Home and dry

Home and dry

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]

There's a plane at JFK

To fly you back from far away

All those dark and frantic

Transatlantic miles

[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]

Oh tonight

I miss you

Oh tonight

I wish you

Could be here with me

But I won't see you

'Til you've made it back again

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]

Home and dry

Home and dry

[Bridge: Neil Tennant]

Far away

Through night and day

You fly long haul tonight

Come to me

You know I'll be here

When you call tonight

[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]

Oh tonight

I miss you

Oh tonight

I wish you

Could be here with me

But I won't see you

'Til you'vе made it back again

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]

Home and dry
