Andy Goggin: The Songs

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

This is about a guy who dreams of leaving his wife but doesn't have the guts to do it! The furthest he gets is the local bar.

I could fly into your arms now honey,
I could run back home to you
I could cry and say I miss you honey,
But we both know that’s not true

And maybe further down the road,
Someone new will share my load
But until then I’m feelin’ good,
In my brand new neighbourhood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright on my own

I won’t sacrifice your name now honey,
I won’t shoot you down in flames
‘Cos I think that I’ll surprise you honey,
When I’m wavin’ from that train

And maybe further down the road,
Someone new will share my load
But until then I’ll feel good,
In my brand new neighbourhood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright on my own

And you can tell your friends that you threw me out, without a doubt
You’ll need some comfort now you’re all alone
And you can feed them the same old bull that you used to feed to me
I don’t give a damn honey, I’m happy, I’m happy to be free.

So I’ll just drink me one more round
And then my feet won’t touch the ground
My friends here say I’ll go far
Just as soon as I leave this bar!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright on my own
