From Rochdale To Ocho Rios - 10cc

From Rochdale to Ocho Rios

From Ocho Rios to Dorking

From Dorking it’s back to Rochdale

From Rochdale to Ocho Rios

You spend half your life in transit

But that’s just the way God plans it

Pack a shirt and some fresh pajamas

That’s all you need

Tried to get a flight out to San Juan

But Air Jamaica don’t fly on Sunday

Gotta get a flight out to San Juan

Because I wanna see the Mama and the Papa

When I look into your blue eyes

I bend the truth but I never tell you lies

I need my lover, I need your care

Understandings not enough to make it fair

From Rochdale to Ocho Rios

From Ocho Rios to Dorking

From Dorking it’s back to Rochdale

From Rochdale to Ocho Rios

Asleep in a stream of sunlight

Awake in a dream at midnight

I’m rushing to wait for jumbo

Oh where am I now

Tried to get a flight out to San Juan

But Air Jamaica don’t fly on Sunday

Gotta get a flight out to San Juan

Because I wanna see the Mama and the Papa

A dressing room so far from home

A corridor with a broken telephone

I wanna call but I got to go

The curtains up and it’s time to do the show

Show time!

I just got in to the city

Yeah, it’s so insane

But the man with the suitcase

Is on the road again

Tried to get a flight out to San Juan

But Air Jamaica don’t fly on Sunday

Gotta get a flight out to San Juan

Because I wanna see the Mama and the Papa

Asleep in a stream of sunlight

Awake in a dream at midnight

I’m rushing to wait for jumbo

Oh where am I now

You spend half your life in transit

But that’s just the way God plans it

Pack a shirt and some fresh pajamas

That’s all you need

Everybody sing!

From Rochdale to Ocho Rios

From Ocho Rios to Dorking

From Dorking it’s back to Rochdale

Oh where are we now
