about

The famous expatriate pictured on this page is Ernest Hemingway.

"[The Eiffel Tower] looked very different from the Statue of Liberty, but what did that matter? What was the good of having the statue without the liberty?" -Josephine Baker

lyrics

This is not my home
I’m just passing, I’m just passing,
I’m just passing through
(‘Making my way back to you)

This is not my home
I’m just passing, I’m just passing,
I’m just passing through
(‘Making my way back to you)

Venom thick as clotted cream
Found its way into the stream
They’ve gone crazy
Crazy

See them rush to fill their cups
Shove and trample, lap it up
They’ve gone crazy
Crazy

This is not my home
I’m just passing, I’m just passing,
I’m just passing through
(‘Making my way back to you)

This is not my home
I’m just passing, I’m just passing,
I’m just passing through
(‘Making my way, ‘working my way, ‘Pushing my way, ‘Pulling my way
‘Making my way back to you
Back to you)

This is not my home
I’m just passing, I’m just passing,
I’m just passing through

Making love to anarchy
In their beds of fallacy
They’re crazy
Crazy

Watch them wallow in the bile
Tell me when the rank and file
Went crazy
Crazy

‘Breaking my way through
the funhouse mirror
Till it gets clearer
Till I am nearer to me
‘Breaking my way through
the funhouse mirror
Till it gets clearer
Till I am nearer to me
‘Breaking my way through
the funhouse mirror
Till it gets clearer
Till I am nearer to me
‘Breaking my way through
the funhouse mirror
Till it gets clearer
Till I am nearer
Nothing is familiar
This is not familiar to me

This is not my home
I’m just passing, I’m just passing,
I’m just passing through...
