XTC

XTC was a New Wave band from Swindon, England, active between 1977 and 2005. The band enjoyed some chart success, including the UK and Canadian hits "Making Plans for Nigel" (1979) and "Senses Working Overtime" (1982), but are perhaps even better known for their long-standing critical (rather than commercial) success. more »

Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways, 
(Please come home) 
Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways 
(Please come home) 

Daddy hit you in a temper, 
But he's sorry now, 
(Please come home) 
Just a quarrel had with mummy, 
Just a family row 
(Please come home) 

You caught mum chasing dad with a knife, 
(Don't cry, don't cry) 
You ran away to escape from the fights, 
(Don't cry, don't cry) 
Now you're lost in a maze of neon light, 
And she's worried, 
He's worried 
She's worried, oh... 

Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways, 
(Please come home) 
Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways 
(Please come home) 

Pacing street-lamps on the highway, 
Haystack for your bed 
(Please come home) 
In the morning we will find you, 
In papers to be read 
(Please come home) 

You heard screams from 
The warmth of your bed 
(Don't cry, don't cry) 
You slumbered on without being fed 
(Don't cry, don't cry) 
Now there's no more tears to be shed, 
And she's sorry, 
He's sorry, 
He's sorry, oh... 

Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways, 
(Please come home) 
Oh run-a, oh run-a, oh runaways 
(Please come home)
