XTC - Runaways Lyrics
Oh, run-a, oh, run-a, oh, runaways
Ah
Oh, run-a, oh, run-a, oh, runaways
(Please come home)
(Please come home)
Daddy hit you in a temper, but he's sorry now
(Please come home)
Just a quarrel had with mummy, just a family row
(Please come home)
You caught mum chasing dad with a knife
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
You ran away to escape from the fights
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
And she's worried, he's worried, she's worried, oh
Oh, run-a, oh, run-a, oh, runaways
(Please come home)
Oh, run-a, oh, run-a, oh, runaways
(Please come home)
Pacing street lamps on the highway, haystack for your bed
(Please come home)
In the morning we will find you in papers to be read
(Please come home)
You heard screams from the warmth of your bed
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
You slumbered on without being fed
(Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)
Now, there's no more tears to be shed
And she's sorry, he's sorry, she's sorry, oh
Oh, run-a, oh, run-a, oh, runaways
(Please come home)
Oh, run-a, oh, run-a, oh, runaways
(Please come home)
(Please come home, please come home, please come home)
Oh, run-a, oh, run-a, oh, runaways
(Please come home, please come home, please come home)
Oh, run-a, oh, run-a, oh, runaways
(Please come home, please come home, please come home)

XTC Runaways Comments
One of the greatest songs known to man.
The 1980s produced a master class of bands, and very much at the top of this would be XTC.
This album of superbly catchy melodies and lyrical stories is still as addictive as it was 25 years ago, and long may it remain so.
absolutely a classic. Classic band and classic song
XTC! one of the greatest bands ever!!! So underrated...this album is timeless!

One of my absolute favorite XTC songs. A rare song that could have almost gone mainstream in its day, not that that would have been a good thing. This song amongst their many many awesome albums and songs is a great memory of the excellent music that us humans used to make...
What an amazing band. Wish they got the credit they deserve. I think they're even better than the Beatles!
Just listening to the first guitar chords brings me back to my junior year in college what memories!
heroic.
