Souvenir
Neil Finn
Don’t ask the question
’Cause you won’t like the answer
Get up off your chair
There’s nothing for you here
Where the guests like souvenirs
They play with you till you’re all worn out
Back where the guests like souvenirs
Prison colour blue
It’s a uniform of choice
Count yourself lucky
That you don’t write the software
Where the guests like souvenirs
They play with you till you’re all worn out
Back where the guests like photographs
They hope you had a good night
Loosen up your tie
Make the viewers cry
I cannot pretend to cry
Memorise by heart
Every single part
There’s nothing for you here
Where the guests like souvenirs
They play with you till you’re all worn out
Back where the guests like souvenirs
They hope you had a good night

“My son, Liam, plays drums - he’s 14 years old and getting real good - he and I had a jam one night. He played this groove down and I was playing bass along to it and then he went of to bed and I wrote a song based around his drum beat.”
