Elvis Costello Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head Lyrics

Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head Lyrics

Here comes Mr. misery

He's tearing out his hair again

He's crying over her again

He's standing in the super-market

Shouting at the customers



Here comes Mr.misery

He'll never be any good

With a mouth full of gold and blood

He's contemplating murder again

He must be in love



But you know she doesn't want you

But you can't seem to get it in your head

Oh, and you can't sleep at night

And she haunts you when you go to bed



When you're tired of talking and you can't drink it down

So you hang around and drown instead

Home isn't where it used to be

Home is anywhere you hang your head



You hang your head

(Home is anywhere)

You hang your head

(Home is anywhere)

You hang your head

(Home is anywhere)

You hang your head



Here comes Mr.misery

Looking for a place for his mouth to shoot

Saying, "You'd look cute in your birthday suit"

You tore him out and screwed him up

Like a bad page in a naughty picture book



They day ended as it began

He was seconds older than

The man he was this morning

And the world has wiped it's mouth since then

Or maybe it was yawning



Oh, you know she doesn't want you

But you can't seem to get it in your head

Oh, and you can't sleep at night

And she haunts you when you go to bed



When you're tired of talking and you can't drink it down

So, you hang around and drown instead

Home isn't where it used to be

Home is anywhere you hang your head



Home isn't where it used to be

Home is anywhere you hang your head
