Home Thoughts From Abroad - Military Wives Choirs

I could be a millionaire if I had the money I could own a mansion, no I don't think I'd like that But I might write a song that makes you laugh, now that would be funny And you could tell your friends in England you'd like that But now I've chosen aeroplanes and boats to come between us And a line or two on paper wouldn't go amiss How is Worcestershire? Is it still the same between us? Do you still use television to send you fast asleep? Can you last another week? Does the cistern still leak? Or have you found a man to mend it? Oh, and by the way, how's your broken heart? Is that mended too? I miss you I miss you, I really do. I've been reading Browning, Keats and William Wordsworth And they all seem to be saying the same thing for me Well I like the words they use, and I like the way they use them You know, Home Thoughts From Abroad is such a beautiful poem And I know how Robert Browning must have felt 'Cause I'm feeling the same way about you Wondering what you're doing and if you need some help Do I still occupy your mind? Am I being so unkind? Do you find it very lonely, or have you found someone to laugh with? Oh, and by the way, are you laughing now? 'Cause I'm not, I miss you I miss you, I really do. I really do.

In the champagne drought, I lost my mind So I started smoking cigarettes with boxed wine When I made a sound, my neighbors cried Said all my songs sound just like drunken lullabies Said I couldn't change, so I broke the mold And I put my dreams in bottles knowing they would float To a better place where I could be myself Don't wanna be another blonde doll on the shelf Every day all day Every day all day Ah-a, ah-a-ah-a I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head And I like to think they're all my friends When I fall apart they put me back together again It's like they see and understand Every day, all day, every day when People show their teeth, don't bite your tongue Baby, you're a diamond shining with no lights on If it gives you peace, keep raising hell Every day all day Every day all day Ah-a, ah-a-ah-a I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head Ah-a, ah-a-ah-a I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head I finally got what I wanted Yeah, I think that I found the way I finally got what I needed With the voices I have in my brain Ah-a, ah-a-ah-a I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head
