lyrics

I’ve got a one-way ticket for two
I’m going to give you something new
You’re going to take back your life
then you're going to make me your wife

I’ll meet you at your flat by the railway
No, I’m not, I’m not going crazy
I’m calling politely to say, Hey,
I’m coming to take you away

I’m coming to take you away
Put on your best coat – don’t make me use the white one
I’ve come a long, long way
and I’m coming to take you away

from council flats full of lead,
away from subways overhead,
out of the ranks of the dead
Where will we end up? In bed

Say goodbye to your mama, your sister and your papa,
Goodbye to your beloved brother
Say goodbye to this funky old town
Where are we going? Down!

I’m coming to take you away
I wasn’t looking for a lover and I found me the right one
I’ve come a long, long way
and I’m coming to take you away

I’ll meet you at your flat by the railway
No, I’m not, I’m not going crazy
I’m calling politely to say, Hey,
I’m coming to take you away
I’m coming to take you away
I’m coming to take you away
