In a Foreign Land Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ray Davies]
It was a matter of fact that when I paid all my tax
I held the world in the palm of my hand
And all of my debts were causing me to defect
To a land of bananas and sand
So I ran, yes I ran, yes I ran to a foreign land
Here I am, here I am
Here I am in a foreign land
[Verse 2: Ray Davies]
I'm so gad we made it
I thought we'd never land
I grabbed all my cash
And I decided to dash far away
Far away, far away in a foreign land
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land
[Verse 3: Ray Davies]
Goodbye to all of the rich man's daughters
Goodbye to my debts now I'm 'way cross the water
Far away, far away in a foreign land
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
[Verse 4: Ray Davies]
Please tell my mother and all my ex-lovers
That I've finally made the grade
Please tell my debtors and the money collectors
That all of my bills will be paid some day
I'm away, I'm away, far away in a foreign land
[Verse 5: Ray Davies]
Goodbye champagne and the caviar set
I wanna slum and drink all the rum I can get
I'm away, I'm away in a foreign land
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land
But I'm all out of my jack and I can't go back
I'm away, far away, far away in a foreign land
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
