Somewhere
A.R.Y Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

50, 60, 78 rpm
Spinning shellac at 120 bpm
Skipping beats in broken record English
I love you, I love you, I miss you, I miss you
And I am being scratched
So what comes next?
Somewhere in England
It's as good as it gets
Somewhere in England
Dreamy bus stops with oil stained glass windows
Won't you put me on the straight path to rock and roll?
We could walk around my country side of town
There are shepherds on the green
But it's not their address
So what comes next?
Somewhere in England
The dead can dance
Somewhere in England
50, 60, 78 rpm
Spinning shellac at 120 bpm
Skipping beats in broken record English
I love you, I love you, I miss you, I miss you
And I am being scratched
So what comes next?
Somewhere in England
It's as good as it gets
Somewhere in England




What comes next?
Somewhere in England
