The Lodger - A Hero's Welcome lyrics

Throw me a line Let's steer this to safety together She says it's fine But it's only a temporary measure If you don't say a word And face the other way The whole thing is absurd That's all that I can say I'm trying to be nice And this is what I get in return Will we ever learn? You could be waiting for some recognition Hoping for the accolade Heading for some town where they know Your name It is a hopeless and pointless charade Lets throw a dice And devise a solution together If you want my advice Continue your new life of leisure If you don't say a word And face the other way The whole thing is absurd That's all that I can say I'm trying to be nice And this is what I get in return Will we ever learn? You could be waiting for this bus forever Waiting for the fun to begin Heading for somewhere you could start again But your excuses will always wear thin Will we ever learn? You could be waiting for some recognition Hoping for the accolade Heading for some town where they know Your name It is a hopeless and pointless charade You could be holding out for celebrations A party upon your return But you'll never get a hero's welcome home And that's just something that you have To learn But you'll never get a hero's welcome home And that's just something that you have To learn And you'll never get a hero's welcome home And that's just something that you have To learn
