10000 Maniacs From Rochdale To Ocho Rios Lyrics

From Rochdale To Ocho Rios Lyrics

From Rochdale to Ocho Rios

 From Ocho Rios to Dorking

 From Dorking its back to Rochdale

 From Rochdale to Ocho Rios

 

 You spend half your life in transit

 But that's just the way God plans it

 Pack a shirt and some fresh pajamas

 That's all you need

 

 Tried to get a flight out to San Juan

 But Air Jamaica don't fly on Sunday

 Gotta get a flight out to San Juan

 Because I wanna see the Mama and the Papa

 

 When I look into your blue eyes

 I bend the truth but I never tell you lies

 I need my lover, I need your care

 Understandings not enough to make it fair

 

 From Rochdale to Ocho Rios

 From Ocho Rios to Dorking

 From Dorking its back to Rochdale

 From Rochdale to Ocho Rios

 

 Asleep in a stream of sunlight

 Awake in a dream at midnight

 I'm rushing to wait for jumbo

 Oh where am I now

 

 Tried to get a flight out to San Juan

 But Air Jamaica don't fly on Sunday

 Gotta get a flight out to San Juan

 Because I wanna see the Mama and the Papa

 

 A dressing room so far from home

 A corridor with a broken telephone

 I wanna call but I got to go

 The curtains up and it's time to do the show

 

 Show time!

 

 I just got in to the city

 Yeah, it's so insane

 But the man with the suitcase

 is on the road again

 

 Tried to get a flight out to San Juan

 But Air Jamaica don't fly on Sunday

 Gotta get a flight out to San Juan

 Because I wanna see the Mama and the Papa

 

 Asleep in a stream of sunlight

 Awake in a dream at midnight

 I'm rushing to wait for jumbo

 Oh where am I now

 

 You spend half your life in transit

 But that's just the way God plans it

 Pack a shirt and some fresh pajamas

 That's all you need

 

 Everybody sing!

 From Rochdale to Ocho Rios

 From Ocho Rios to Dorking

 From Dorking its back to Rochdale

 Oh where are we now
