Song by The Kinks<br /><br>
It was a matter of fact that when I paid all my tax<br>
I held my world in the palm of my hand<br>
And all of my debts were causing me to defect<br>
To a land of bananas and sand<br>
So I ran, yes I ran, yes I ran to a foreign land<br>
Here I am, here I am<br>
Here I am in a foreign land<br>
<br>
I'm so glad we made it<br>
I thought we'd never land<br>
I grabbed all my cash<br>
And I decided to dash far away<br>
Far away, far away in a foreign land<br>
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land<br>
<br>
Goodbye to all of the rich men's daughters<br>
Goodbye to my debts now I'm way across the water<br>
Far away, far away in a foreign land<br>
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land<br>
<br>
La la la la la la<br>
La la la la la la<br>
<br>
Please tell my mother and all my ex-lovers<br>
That I've finally made the grade<br>
<br>
Please tell my debtors and the money collectors<br>
That all of my bills will be paid some day<br>
I'm away, I'm away in a foreign land<br>
<br>
Goodbye champagne and the caviar set<br>
I wanna slum and drink all of the rum I can get<br>
I'm away, I'm away in a foreign land<br>
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land<br>
But I'm all out of my jack and I can't go back<br>
I'm away, far away, far away in a foreign land<br>
<br>
La la la la la la<br>
La la la la la la<br>
 <br>
