[00:17.894]When I get back home
[00:39.599]When I get back home
[00:41.539]Looking out the window on the plane
[00:43.997]Rain dripping on the windows to my soul
[00:45.920]Three years now that I been away
[00:49.151]A little fish had to find a bigger bowl
[00:51.103]When I touch down on the runway
[00:53.804]I'm gonna run straight to my mum waiting at the gate
[00:56.254]Get the duty free for the old man
[00:58.700]And drink it with him till can't stand
[01:00.651]Never been so lonely
[01:04.355]When I get home
[01:06.006]I'm gonna hit up all the homies
[01:09.414]And then we'll get stoned
[01:10.845]See my Nana and my Grandpop
[01:12.809]These days only see 'em on the laptop
[01:15.006]These days ain't got a day to have off
[01:17.500]Been away so long when I get back
[01:19.311]I'ma head back out to Avondale
[01:21.481]That's home, never turn my back on where I'm from
[01:24.619]When I'm back, then it's back on (when I get home)
[01:27.344]They say, "When you coming back Tom?" say,
[01:29.345]"Maybe never brother, but is that wrong?"
[01:31.362]Look, I ain't never gave a damn about a flag bruv
[01:33.775]I don't own no land that I stand on
[01:36.265]And I've never been down with no patriotism
[01:38.958]But I love the city that I'm from, and what?
[01:41.705]When I get home
[01:50.612]When I get home
[01:55.774]When I get home
[01:59.510]When I get back home
[02:01.915]I'm standing in this empty room
[02:04.371]Dead fern on the window sill
[02:07.006]Dried out looking like a prune
[02:09.897]Old dream I forgot to water I was so young then
[02:14.554]So naive I thought I'd be
[02:17.488]A millionaire by now
[02:20.099]Turns out, didn't work out
[02:22.237]Like I thought it would
[02:24.105]Sold out and went Collingwood
[02:26.556]Moved out of my childhood neighbourhood for good
[02:29.678]The flight was booked, it's too late to look down now
[02:33.197]Ain't nothing but some water
[02:35.298]Some old friends that I thought I loved back then
[02:37.666]Hanging on the same corner
[02:40.303]And now I'm feeling like a foreigner ain't the same dude I was
[02:44.673]All of my youth is gone, used it up
[02:47.032]Guess I must've did so much, I blew my buzz
[02:49.510]And now I can't get no high, I grew too much
[02:52.121]It's just some strangers that I used to love
[02:55.022]Nothing more left to discuss don't know where am no more
[02:59.638]I thought that it'd be all just like I was before
[03:01.946]Then I got...
[03:07.166]Then I got home
[03:10.752]And the truth is that I don't know where my home is anymore
[03:20.632]When I get back home (home)
[03:31.570]When I get home
[03:36.926]When I get home
[03:40.579]When I get back home
[03:43.194]And our heroes wore black, and we fought back
[03:45.544]And we thought that the world was flat for a fact
[03:48.192]'Cause the furthest that we'd been from home was the laundromat
[03:50.535]Back in standard four, I walked the tracks to the mall and back
[03:53.109]And that was like a world trip to us, back of the bus
[03:55.640]That was like a spaceship to us, oblivious
[03:58.043]To just how small our so-called 'big city' was
[04:00.614]And all that gulf war shit didn't mean shit to us
[04:03.176]We just flushed it
[04:04.440]Kinda like the history they hushed with the musket
[04:06.743]Kinda like the ancient Maori customs they crushed into custard squares
[04:10.024]Like tapu in the Tupperware cupboard
[04:12.337]With the treaty that they kaka'd on
[04:13.396]Clean green Babylon
[04:14.707]Where everybody's on the synthetic weed like crabs in a bucket bong
[04:18.013]Sitting in a long white smoke cloud
[04:20.605]Hometown or ghost town, don't know how to tell the difference anymore
[04:23.396]Hoe tell a tale about a hotel
[04:25.538]Whole town go around talking about what they don't really know about
[04:28.588]It's kinda like a giant hair salon where l'm from
[04:31.150]Nobody really wanna cheer you on where I'm from
[04:33.689]Remember that game we played in the days at the pools
[04:36.217]Where we fought for first place on a floating log?
[04:38.541]I don't remember what the motive was
[04:41.177]But as soon as someone new got on we're hoping someone throws him off
[04:43.952]While the hater on the water gun's tryna hose him off
[04:46.568]'This dude's won twice in a row, look at him showing off'
[04:49.109]Get too cocky, your poppy get cut
[04:51.374]You get too poppy and you'll probably get jumped where I from
[04:53.947]Land of the long line of road cones
[04:56.784]Home of the homeless, hole in the ozone
[04:59.234]Where the young sheep work the street selling their wool
[05:01.269]And we gather 'round the town square to yell at the fool
[05:03.648]Clean green red meat, where the vegans get eaten
[05:06.243]And the feelings get beat, dead-end job, dead-end street, dead-end town
[05:09.536]Where the rents mad dear but meth's cheap
[05:11.395]And making it is just making it to next week
[05:13.776]Once were rainbow warriors now we just sink drink
[05:16.596]Washed up on the north shore almost extinct
[05:18.863]Deep fried native tongue served with a side of kumara fries
[05:22.146]The youth euthanised, suicide rates higher than the rent
[05:25.465]The government sitting on its fat assets, 25 mil on a flag test
[05:29.270]New Key, same monarchy, snarky, sarky, Pakeha talking malarky
[05:34.309]Living off the misery of Maori, milking the manaakitanga
[05:39.616]As if parliament's a party that her man's Ding at
[05:41.207]But I ain't playing that, I jumped up in an Uber and told the pilot
[05:43.993]To take me back…..home
[06:42.708]Man: Hey boy, say something
[06:45.001]Boy: Um, what should I say?
[06:47.801]Man: Um... I-I don't know
[06:48.568]Boy: I don't know? Okay. I don't know
[06:51.677]Man: What don't you know?
[06:52.978]Boy: Shut up
[06:54.316]Man: What's life?
[06:55.345]Boy: Um, a magazine
[06:57.125]Man: A magazine?
[06:58.165]Boy: You're supposed to say "how much?"!
[06:59.425]Man: Oh, uh, how much?
[07:00.678]Boy: Seven cents
[07:01.940]Man: Seven ce--
[07:02.440]Boy: Now say "I've only got--," Now say "I've only got six."
[07:06.222]Man: Oh, I've only got six cents
[07:07.567]Boy: That's tough
[07:08.834]Man: What's tough?
[07:09.625]Boy: Life!
[07:10.928]Man: What's life?
[07:11.721]Boy: A magazine
