EmSinner on the Dmainland

How Emmany destiDnations
Oh EmGod he's seen them Dall

So Emfar aD/Fway fromE/G home
No they'll Amnever underDstand
The Remittance GMaCn G
A man of empty pockets
From jingling his change
The idleness and grieving
Are all that he retains
By the harbour lights of Sydney
Or the Bora Bora moon
He recites his sad confession
To the seagulls and the loons
Remittance Man
Blacksheep of the family clan
Broke too many rules along the way
Remittance Man
So far away from home
No they'll never understand
The Remittance Man
Well Bmyou can claim that you were born a Amprince
But Bmyou're the only one you can conAmvince
SurFvivor with no livelihood
That Cyou could ever make it good
But Dstill you dream of what you can pretend
An unexpected passenger
Boarded in Marseilles
An angel full of tenderness
She gave her heart away
She was but a gypsy
He was just a stray
They almost made a miracle
But it slowly slipped away
So he follows the equator
With a wish to run aground
It's a very vicious circle
Goin' round and round and round
And he watches from the fantail
As the mainland disappears
Just like the Flying Dutchman
He's a prisoner of his fears
Remittance Man
Blacksheep of the family clan
Broke too many rules along the way
Remittance Man
So far away from home
No they'll Amnever BmunderCstand
No they'll Amnever BmunderCstand
No they'll Amnever BmunderCstand
The Remittance EmMan D
