Sometimes the comfort of a room
Sometimes I'm quite alone
I pack to leave a foreign town
It seems I'll never know

But I'll rent new accommodation
We'll make plans for mobile homes

Slow boats moving with the tide
Drifting far from shore
It's the nature of this country life
I've never known before
Still we'll make plans for buildings and houses
From mobile homes

Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes

The sound of wildlife fills the air
So warm and dry
The bushland burns in this southern heat
Like an open fire

Still we'll make plans for buildings and houses
From mobile homes... mobile homes

Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
Blood life
My life
Still life in mobile homes

A voice screams from heaven
As we start to sail
It's the calling of the fatherland
I used to know so well

Till I'll find new accommodation
We'll make plans for mobile homes

Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes

i was really into japan in the 80-s. it was quite avant garde/new wave. i wouldnt call this one my favourite. i would recommend the album adolescent sex as an introduction. david sylvian sure had a velvety voice though
Thank you! Nice wave sound. Crazy and fantasy. 
my 80ies come back 🙏🏽💜💜💜
Sooo....History lesson over now...perhaps a word on the group we're listening to? Please? 😁
