lyrics

We pulled up roots, rolled into the city Flying fast from past and pain Looking for a new start, for the kid and me A little shelter from the rain

Found some work, not great pay – still, a start Someone to share the care, in shifts apart Only need space to live, enough to eat Somewhere to feel safe, not some junkie street

Another storey… on the casino Another storey… on the office tower Another knockback – “Sorry, no longer available” And the fat rats flashing their fangs of gold As people like us are bought and sold

All I want is a roof over our heads To stay in our own space, sleep in our own beds All I want is a place we can call our own All I want is Home

One toehold to another, further and further from town Each time, rent jacked up, or the place pulled down Never daring to raise rights, things fixed or filled in Feel seen as the young or the single, or by the colour of skin

Another storey… on the casino Another storey… on the office tower Another kick-out - no cause, no reason And the fat rats flashing their fangs of gold As people like us are bought and sold

All I want… is a roof over our heads… There’s gotta be something… has to be something… There’s gotta be somewhere… called Home
