NotesTina Weymouth about this song: We jammed to create this song. I played guitar (I don't really know how to playanything, so it was all the same to me, whatever instrument I played); Chris played drums (no jam really got off the ground if anyone else tried to play them); Jerry played a Prophet keyboard, including the left-hand bass line; and David kept going between guitar and another Prophet keyboard, where he went wild witth the pitch modulationwheel and campy piano glissandos. It was great and it was truly naive.

Lyrics

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - burn with a weak heart
(So I) guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing

Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
