[This song is about] “looking after stuff you love” – Tom (Cologne gig – 17th October 2004)
“It was the only song on album written on the guitar. It was written in France, it’s probably got a bit of the French atmosphere in it. … We wrote it out in the garden in France, and then rushed in and record...
[Verse 1]
I hold you in my hands, a little animal
And only some dumb idiot would let you go
[Pre-Chorus]
But if I'm one thing
Then, that's the one thing
[Chorus]
I should know
Can anybody find their home?
Out of everyone
Can anybody find their home?
[Verse 2]
I hold you in cupped hands and shield you from a storm
Where only some dumb idiot would let you go
[Pre-Chorus]
But if I'm one thing
Then, that's the one thing
[Chorus]
I should know
Can anybody find their home?
Out of everyone
Can anybody find their home?
Lost in the sun
Can anybody find their home?
Come on, come on, come on
Can anybody find their home?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Oh
Can anybody find their home?
Out of everyone
Can anybody find their home?
Lost in the sun
Can anybody find their home?
Come on, come on, come on
Can anybody find their home?
[Outro]
Ooh
Can anybody find their home?
Ooh
Can anybody find their home?
Ooh
Can anybody find their home?
