"

Such a perfect Island, tucked away in the sea
The real land of the free, do you hear me

Its a long way home my crooked friend
But i do appreciate the time we spent
Its a long long way back home
Such a long long way back home

So close, yet we’ve come so far
So close, still we’ve got so far

Love this song, love this band. I still remember the feeling in the crowd when I saw them with Kim - they opened for The Living End at the Thebby. The energy was astounding. I remember at one point in the mosh (we were quite near the front) I was pushed over.. and I remember being so taken with the music and the moment that I wasn’t even worried. Luckily enough, the guy standing next to me grabbed one arm and Kim grabbed the other and they pulled me back up.. and it was like I’d never missed a beat. Mesmerising. I’d see them again in an instant.
