Song meaning as told by Jon: "It's about coming home after being away for a long time, and also about the times when we've got no money and we're lying in our bunks in a crazy, shitty room thinking, 'I'll be home again at some stage'. It's coming from my girlfriend's perspective in the way that I'm saying I can appreciate how fucked it is being away from me, and me being away from her. And I'm just saying, 'no matter how far away we are from each other, I still fucking love you, and I'll see you sooner or later'". Rip It Up, Oct. 1996

Lyrics

Put your clock back for the winter
She asks when I'll be home again
If I could see those eyes
I know they'd cut me down a size
You're not here, when I need you

So sit and wait
And bend and break
You rise and fall
Just you that's all
I'm here, you're there
It don't mean I don't care
I'm so sorry I was miles away

It's been a day of tiny triumphs
It's been a week spent in dispair
You can't send it down a phone line
I do my best, but I'm not there

So sleep and wake
And dream up your fate
And rise and fall
Watch you grow tall
I'm here, you're there
But you should still know I love you
When I'm miles away

I'll be home again
I'll be home again
Coming home again
Coming home again

Guitar Intro

RIFF 1:
G|-----------|
D|-----------|        Riffs 1 & 2 are played for practicly
A|-----------|        the whole song over and over 4 times each
E|--3-0-0-0--|        (Riff 1 x 4,Riff 2 x 4,etc.).You're best
                      off listening to the CD for timing.Also,
RIFF 2:               I think Karl slaps the first note of these
G|------------|       two riffs (3 or 12) and then pulls/pops the
D|------------|       open string three times, but it sounds ok by
A|------------|       just pulling.
E|--12-0-0-0--|


BRIDGE RIFF:
Part 1:
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|--3-3-33-3-33333333--|

Part 2:
G|----------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------| same timing
A|----------------------------------------------| as part 1
E|--12--12--12-12--12--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--|

The bridge is played as Part 1 and Part 2 together after each other.


That's It (at least I think that's it).You should be able to get it
after a couple of times.It's not that hard when you listen to it.


I think when they play live, Karl mixes it up by adding another
riff with the other 2. I think it is...
E|--5-0-0-0--|
