Eels - Where I'm From Lyrics

Believe it or not, but a refugee in my country showed me this wonderful song. A young men appeared in my office, telling me I have to listen to this and started crying. I never knew what it means to lose / leave behind your home and everything you love for what reason ever - I understand better now.

He has to go back.

Fred Keebox No, he will stay, there is no place to return anyway.

+Brienne Volta: Well, we'll deport him into international waters with a US government courtesy raft then.

Not talking about your country - not your problem.

For Sharon Kelly... "three ghosts and I sitting on the couch last night..." xxx For all the ghosts, eh, blossom? xxx

Three Ghosts and I, sittin' on the couch last night
Catchin' up on all the time
It's been a while, since we got together and
You know that it's often on my mind

So long ago, I left it in the dust, well I was so young and dumb
Ran far away, but I have to admit, sometimes I miss where I'm from

Let's have a drink, to everything that we went through
It wasn't always so bad
We can't forget, each other's company
And all of the goodtimes we had

So long ago, I left it in the dust, well I was so young and dumb
Ran far away, but I have to admit, sometimes I miss where I'm from

Three ghosts and I, sittin' on the couch last night
Catchin' up on all the time
It's been a while, since we got together and
You know that it's often on my mind

So long ago, I left it in the dust, well I was so young and dumb
Ran far away, but I have to admit, sometimes I miss where I'm from

Heard this on an alt/indy radio station, great catchy tune.

I love the way performers fight thru adversity to release consistently high quality music

Damn this is a great track. Surprised to see there's been no comments yet, so here's my stab at one. How did I do? :)

8/10 You complimented the song, acknowledged the complete absence of comments, but you messed up your smiley at the end. The mouth is too close to the eyes.

Now, tell me in two years how I did at replying to your comment. ツ

Thank you for reminding me of this great song. Still great after all these years.
: )

@Stewart Boutcher Indeed. I just got on another Eels kick myself, and only just discovered this album. It's a great one.

Me gusto, con el ritmo que solo el SR. E sabe ponerle a su música.

Wonderful E
