Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I just got back and I wish I never leave now (Where'd ya' go?)
Who that Martian arrival at the airport, yeah? (Where'd ya' go?)
How many local dollars for a local anesthetic? (Where'd ya' go?)
The Johnny on the corner wasn't very sympathetic (Where'd ya' go?)
[Chorus]
I went to the place where every white face
Is an invitation to robbery
Sitting here in my safe European home
Don't wanna go back there again
[Verse 2]
Wasn't I lucky, wouldn't it be lovely? (Where'd ya' go?)
Send us all cards and have a lay in on Sunday (Where'd ya' go?)
I was there for two weeks, so how come I never tell now? (Where'd ya' go?)
That natty dread drinks at the Sheraton Hotel, yeah? (Where'd ya' go?)
[Chorus]
I went to the place where every white face
Is an invitation to robbery
Sitting here in my safe European home
Don't wanna go back there again
[Bridge]
They got the sun, they got the palm trees (Where'd ya' go?)
They got the weed and they got the taxis (Where'd ya' go?)
Whoa, "The Harder They Come" and the home of ol' Bluebeat (Where'd ya' go?)
I'd stay and be a tourist but I can't take the gun play (Where'd ya'?)
[Chorus]
I went to the place where every white face
Is an invitation to robbery
Sitting here in my safe European home
Don't wanna go back there again
[Outro]
What?
Rudie come from Jamaica, Rudie can't fail
Rudie come from Jamaica, Rudie can't fail
Rudie come from Jamaica, 'cause Rudie can't fail
Rudie come from Jamaica, Rudie can't fail (Our European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can't fail (Grey European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can't fail (Dull European home)
Rudie loots and Rudie shoots and Rudie gun man don't back down (Dutty European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, guns are comin' (Instant European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can't fail (Credits European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie he can't fail (The big lights European home)
Rudie come up from Jamaica, 'cause Rudie can't fail (You got the nice guy European home)
Rudie come up from Jamaica, 'cause Rudie can't fail (Explosive European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie loots and Rudie shoots (And twenty-four Track European home)
Elder come and the Rudie go but no one knows where police must go
