24 MINUTES FROM BICESTER

Hello, brother,
I have to call to tell why I haven't reached you by now.
As my new partner, Barry, he stayed away last night
And today we had a big row.

Now I am only 24 minutes from Bicester,
Ah, only a stone's throw away from your home.
I would have called you before,
But here is the reason, there’s more,

For now, I have to tell you
Barry and I don't see eye to eye and know that we’re done.
We both have others, lovers,
Now is the time to see who should stay and who should move on.

And I am only 24 minutes from Bicester,
Ah, only a stone's throw away from your home,
I don't know when I'll be there,
And maybe you couldn’t care.
It’s just a ‘mare!

Oh, I am only 24 minutes from Bicester
Ah, only a stone's throw away from your home.
Oh, I'll try to get there for tea,
But that depends on if he

Would have me back now, though now
He’s changed the locks on all of the doors so now that I’m out
I can't return there, I swear,
There is no point of my going back, of that there's no doubt.

Though I am only 24 minutes from Bicester,
Ah, only a stone's throw away from your home.
I think here's what I will do,
As I have somebody new,
I'll start anew,
And I will never, ever go home again.
