1) The Springfields was a British pop-folk vocal trio of the early 1960s remembered as the launch pad for singer Dusty Springfield.
2) The Springfields was an American indie-pop band from New England active between 1988 and 1991.

1. The Springfields was a British pop-folk vocal trio in the early 1960s, who had success both in the UK, USA and Ireland, but are now best remembered as the launch pad for singer Dusty Springfield.
The trio formed in 1960, when Mary "Dusty" O’Brien joined her brother Dion O'Brien and Tim Feild, who had been working as a duo,"The Kensington Squares". Dion became Tom Springfield, and Mary became Dusty Springfield. Feild was later replaced by Mike Hurst.
Tom Springfield was a songwriter and arranger with a wide knowledge of folk music, and the group had strong vocal harmonies and Dusty’s powerful lead. They were signed to Philips Records and released their first single, "Dear John," in 1961, followed by two UK chart hits with "Breakaway" and "Bambino" – like their other records, produced by Johnny Franz.
In 1962, their version of "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" – which surprisingly was not released as a single in the UK - reached the US Top 20, the first single by a British group ever to do so (predating the Tornados’ “Telstar” by two months, and the Beatles by 15 months). The record also reached # 1 in Australia.
At the end of 1962 they had the biggest hit of their career in Britain, "Island of Dreams", which reached # 5 in the charts, as did the follow-up "Say I Won’t Be There". By this time the Springfields were one of the most popular groups in the UK. However, Dusty Springfield felt increasingly hemmed in by the group's image as a folk act and Tom's lead role within the trio, and towards the end of 1963 decided to leave for a solo career.
Tom Springfield and Mike Hurst also developed successful careers in the music industry, while Tim Feild (as Reshad Feild) later became a prominent mystic and writer.

2: The Springfields was an American indie-pop band from New England, USA, related to Choo Choo Train and Velvet Crush. They released several 7" singles between 1988 and 1991 on Bus Stop, Sarah, Seminal Twang; with Matthew Sweet producing their Sunflower single.

COME ON HOME
The Springfields Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't stand there wailing "got no place to go"
Come on home
You look at me like that and I can't say no
Come on home

Well, I know you done me wrong
And I know I should be strong
But, I cried the whole night long

So, come on home
Come on home

Tell me baby, must you be so cruel?
Come on home
You treat me just like I'm some kind of fool
Come on home

Well, I know you let me down
I was glad when you left town
But, you're good to have around
So, come on home

Don't run away now
Come on home
You got your way now
Come on home
A-hear what I say now
Come on home
Come on home

When you smile at me well I feel so good
Come on home
I can't be mad at you like I know I should
Come on home
Well you took me for a ride
And I thought my love had died
Still I need you by my side
So come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home

Yeah, when you smile at me well I feel so good
Come on home
I can't be mad at you a-like I know I should
Come on home
Well, you took me for a ride
And I thought my love had died
Still, I need you by my side
So, come on home
Said yes
Come on home
Sit down

Come on home
Come on home

Overall Meaning

The song "Come on Home" by The Springfields is a plea from someone who has been hurt but still longs for the love of their partner. The lyrics show a sense of vulnerability and weakness, as the singer begs their lover to come back home even though they have done wrong in the past. The first verse starts off with the singer urging their lover not to feel sorry for themselves and instead to come back home. They claim that when their partner looks at them, they can't say no. The second verse is more confrontational, with the singer asking their lover if they must be so cruel and treating them like a fool. However, despite the hurt, they still admit to needing their lover and wanting them back in their life.

The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire for their lover to come back, while also acknowledging the complex emotions involved in the situation. They feel both anger and love towards their partner, but ultimately choose to forgive them and ask them to come home. The repetition of the phrase "come on home" throughout the song intensifies the sense of longing and desperation. The final verse brings back the imagery of the partner's smile, which makes the singer forget their anger and feel "so good." The song ends with the singer finally getting their wish and their partner sitting down with them at home.
