Halfway Round The World - from Letters Never Sent - 1994


Thank you for informing me
                       
That I was banned from Canada
                  
It comes as no suprise to me
                  
Last month it was Africa
                        
Since you’ve been ambassador
                      
There’s trouble at the border
            
La la la la la la la
                        
Halfway ‘round the world

                     
It’s amusing but it makes me wince
                    
Your face is like a scimitar
                   
When accidentally eye to eye
                      
You shoot a look like vinegar
                   
What could I have done to you
                   
To make you act the way you do
            
La la la la la la la
                       
Halfway ‘round the world

      
For whatever reason
                 
You would keep me
                          
Halfway ‘round the world
                                  
I believe it’s like a kind of compliment
                
I must be quite a girl, "quite a girl"
            
La la la la la la la 
                       
Halfway ‘round the world

                                      
Once upon a time you swore you’d love me
                           
‘Til the end of the world
                                  
Now, nowhere is far enough away for you
                 
I must be quite a girl, "quite a girl..."
            
La la la la la la la 
                       
Halfway ‘round the world
