about

Written exclusively for a lovely lass and requested by her cracking lad during the Pledgemusic campaign for 'Solow' in 2011-2012.

lyrics

Pulling up young roots and setting down again
It is never easy but sometimes you need to start again. 
Coming from the rain and traveling to the sun
Discovering your music in a record shop in town 
Like a migrating bird, always finds it's home 
if something in your heart is missing then you will return
A message in your heart screams something isn't right 
living for your music but needing something more

You can take the Girl from england,
but you can't take the england from the girl.
She can travel round the world in circle she will always stay a Josi girl

Returning to the start where you once began
Starting a new life in this tiny green England 
Hoping for the light but discovering the truth
The more you learn less you think you've understood 
Hustle, bustle, rush of seedy london town 
looking up to the grey sky can sometimes pull you down
Josi girl has landed and 'just now' she is home
laying down new roots and finding she is not alone

You can take the Girl from england,
but you can't take the england from the girl.
She can travel round the world in circle she will always stay a Josi girl

Ahh Shame
Ahh Shame
Ahh Shame
Ahh Shame
