Me singing half the world away as sung by aurora (originally by oasis) for the john lewis christmas advert. Piano by guy hughes from the music lab collective.

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go, I'm still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
You're half the world away
And when I leave this planet, you know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go, I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
You're half the world away
You're half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down
You're half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down
I don't feel down
