Subject: Lyr Req: Julia just wants to go home From: GUEST Date: 18 Sep 23 - 11:39 AM I just saw a post on Facebook from the Cottingham Folkclub where Enda Kenny sang "Julia just wants to go home". Does anyone have the lyrics of this song? Thanks. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julia just wants to go home From: cnd Date: 18 Sep 23 - 12:04 PM Seems like he wrote it. Not sure if he changed the name for one performance or another, but this video titles it "Tania Just Wants To Go Home" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6b3WrHB49g I can take a stab at transcribing if no one else knows it / gets to it. Video isn't the best recording quality, though, so it may present a bit of a challenge. |

Ellipses (...) are where I could not make out entire words. Question marks in braces [?] are where the words I made out are ... not obviously right.
BB,
They're peeling the labels, puttin' chairs on the table
The accordion player was always a stayer [?]
-- CHORUS --
They pull out the tin from yesterday's bringin' [?]

They're peeling the labels, puttin' chairs on the table |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julia just wants to go home From: cnd Date: 18 Sep 23 - 09:35 PM Thanks for the start, NightWing. Here's how I'd fill in the gaps. "Sandilands" is apparently a neighborhood in Lincolnshire. The Lincolnshire area is (so says Wikipedia) known for its marshy terrain, especially along the coastline. TANIA JUST WANTS TO GO HOME (Enda Kenny) They're peelin' their labels, chairs on the tables Tania just wants to go home She's pickin' up glasses and knockin' back passes Tania just wants to go home The bottle shop's shutters are down to the ground A Sandilands band sings a swampy old sound It's a Sunday night on a holy ground But Tania just wants to go home The accordion player was always a stayer Tania just wants to go home She don't need no man in her old panel van Tania just wants to go home It's been too long a weekend, too many VDs (that's "Victoria District") Too many cowboys, too many CDs (that's "Common Ground") Somebody order a taxicab please 'Cause Tania just wants to go home CHORUS Tania just wants to go out the door, down the road Tania just wants to go home Tania just wants to go more than you'll ever know Tania just wants to go home She's pulling the pins from yesterday's braces Tania just wants to go home Tired of the grins on our boozy old faces Tania just wants to go home A warm bath is waiting, a book by the bed Tania's got only one thought in her head Tall, dark, and handsome, her horoscope says Tania just wants to go home CHORUS They're peelin' their labels, chairs on the tables Tania just wants to go home She's pickin' up glasses and knockin' back passes Tania just wants to go home The bottle shop's shutters are down to the ground A Sandilands band sings a swampy old sound It's a Sunday night on a holy ground Tania just wants to go home --------------------- Seems to be a song about a waitress just waiting for the hangers-on, perhaps more specifically the band, to leave so she can enjoy some peace and quiet. She's also been worn out from tourists over the course of the day. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julia just wants to go home From: GerryM Date: 18 Sep 23 - 09:56 PM VDs, Victoria District ––– that should be, VBs, Victoria Bitters (Victoria Bitter being a brand of beer in Australia). I'm not sure what "CDs" are, probably another beer, maybe "Common Draft". |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julia just wants to go home From: cnd Date: 19 Sep 23 - 09:27 AM I'd normally defer to your knowledge here, Gerry, but the parentheticals are of Enda's own creation. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julia just wants to go home From: GerryM Date: 19 Sep 23 - 06:20 PM cnd, is your source the video from the links upthread? I listened to it, and, yes, Enda provides the parentheticals, but what I hear him say is *VBs (that's "Victoria Bitters")* And how could CDs be "Common Ground"? |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julia just wants to go home From: cnd Date: 20 Sep 23 - 08:34 AM Ah, you are correct -- my apologies. VBs is definitely Victoria Bitters. I assumed CDs was a typo meant to be CGs but after listening more closely I believe he says "CDs (that's Common Draft)" |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julia just wants to go home From: GerryM Date: 22 Sep 23 - 04:43 AM I'm coming to the opinion that the line is "CDs (that's Carlton Draught)". Carlton Draught (pronounced "draft") is a popular beer here in Australia. |
