Gotta Getaway Lyrics - Stiff Little Fingers

Gotta gotta getaway, gotta gotta getaway 

You know there ain't no street like home 

To make you feel so all alone 

Plenty of folk to tell you what to do 

But they don't speak the same language as you 

They wanna have me here 

Have me and hold me near 

Hold me down fasten and tie 

But the cars are all flashing me 

Bright lights are passing me 

I feel life passing me by 

The fuss is buzzing in my head 

My father argued and my mother begged 

It's not their words ain't tugging at me 

But gotta stretch them break them, get myself free 

They wanna have me here 

Have me and hold me near 

Hold me down fasten and tie 

But the cars are all flashing me 

Bright lights are passing me 

I feel life passing me by 

Gotta gotta getaway, gotta gotta getaway 

I'm leaving home
