Lyrics

I like staying with my Uncle Dave
 And I like playing with his great dane
 But I don't fit
 I feel alien and strange
 Kinda outta range
 I like riding in my Uncle's car
 Down to the beach where the pretty girls all parade
 And movie stars and paparazzi play
 The Charles Atlas kicking sand in the face game
 And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea
 There's a blood red dragon on a field of green
 Calling me back
 Back to the Black Hills again
 (Ooh, ooh, Billy come home)
 Billy is searching for his native land
 Flicking through the stations with the dial in his head
 Picking up (background: static)
 And a male voice choir on the short wave band
 Billy taps out Jim's number on the phone
 Sits shaking as he waits for Jim's answering tone
 Come on my friend, speak to me please
 The land of my fathers is calling to me
 And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea
 There's a blood red dragon on a field of green
 Calling me back
 Back to the Black Hills again
 (Ooh, ooh) Billy come home
 Come on home
 He sits in the canyon with his back to the sea
 Sees a blood red dragon on a field of green
 He hears a male voice choir singing
 Billy come home
 (Billy, Billy, come home)
 Come on home
 [Californian Weirdo:] "I don't like fish."
 [Californian Weirdo:] "I don't like fish."
 [Jim:] "You are listening to KAOS here in Los Angeles."
 [Californian Weirdo:] "I don't like fish."
 [Jim:] "Yes, we've established that.
 Ah! Do you have a request?"
 [Californian Weirdo:] "Shell fish, guppy
 Shrimp and crab and lobster, flounder
 I hate fish, but I think most of all
 I hate fresh fish like trout
 I hate fresh trout
 My least-hated, favourite fish would be sole
 That way you don't have to see the eyes
 Sole has no eyes."
 [Jim:] "Oh no!"
 [Woman:] "I'd like to be home with my monkey and my dog."
 [Jim:] "Thank you."
 [Woman:] "I'd like to be home with my monkey and my dog
 I'd like to be home with my monkey and my dog
 I'd like to be home with my monkey and my dog
 I'd like to be home with my monkey..."
 [Jim:] "I don't care. Shut up. Play the record."
