One Step Closer To Home - The Alarm

One Step Closer To Home (Live) - The Alarm
Back in 75
When the kid was on the line
And he felt no pain
'Cause there was none
He would bend in the wind
Take in anything
Like sniffin' roses
And it was alright
Until he fell
And cut his hand
He just could not understand
He'd run away
Blame pretense
For defence
Or plain innocence
Say that's alright
The harder it fights
I'm one step closer to home
The deeper it bites
I'm one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands
Or whip my back
I can't give in
'Til the sky turns black
I may get lost
I'm one step closer to home
Oh yeah he ran
Hitched rides
Travelled light
Left his bags behind
Said he'd lost them
He said that's ok
I get money and a smile
From place to place
And they don't mind
I've had the heads of
Business men and I just gave them
Right back again
I've got no need
For device disguise
Or for their compromise
Said that's airight
The tougher it gets
I'm one step closer to home
The more that I sweat
I'm one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands
Or whip my back
I can't give in
'Til the sky turns black
I may get lost
I'm one step closer to home
There ain't no need for
This at all at all
Surely you can help me out
Say I know a lot of people just like you
Plently to live for and nothing to lose
So tear it all down
Smash it all up
Break it all down and then just
Build it up
Build it up
Ah now build it up
Oh you build it up build it up
Ah now build it up build it up
Ah build it up
Build it up
Build it up build it up
Build it up up up up
And the tougher it gets
And the more that I sweat
And the harder it fights
And the deeper it bites
I'm one step closer to home
And the harder it fights
I'm one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands
Or whip my back
I can't give in
'Til the sky turns black
I may get lost
I'm one step closer to home
