I just buckle when I hear this - it get's me every time. It's just the memories of growing up on Tyneside with the Pits and the Shipyards and my first pint as a kid and everything else I remember from my younger days - it's all there in these few musical phrases. I love it!!
LYRICS: I've travelled the land with a guitar in my hand And an eye ever open for some fun I've made some mistakes, had my share of the breaks I’ve seen the boys on the make and on the bum Run for home, run as fast as I can Whoa, running man, running for home Run for home, run as fast as I can Whoa, running man, running for home I've seen all the frowns on the faces of the clowns And the downs that they take just to be free And I've seen all the girls in their pretty frocks and curls Oh, but they don't mean a lot to me Run for home, run as fast as I can Whoa, running man, running for hooo-hooo-hooooome
It so often happens that when you get a stripped back, bare, heartfelt rendition, it blows the original highly produced version out of the water. So it is here. Absolute gem.
kissyxander The original had all the strings etc which I felt took away from the gut feeling simplicity of the lyrics and melody. This is well good on the ears. Cheers fae Bonnie Scotland
Brilliant version. Run for Home is also on the untapped and acoustic cd and the stripped down version really works - the lyrics are so poignant for us all .
Great lyrics and great sentiment.First heard this song a few years back on the end of a peter kay dvd.I couldnt belive how I hadnt heard it anywere before.
Both men were lead singers with Lindisfarne and I was supposed to see them at the Music on the Marr festival but of course it was cancelled due to COVID-19.
It's a great track from our north east boys.
Lady Eleanor is 1 of the greatest tracks ever.

LYRICS:
I've travelled the land with a guitar in my hand
And an eye ever open for some fun
I've made some mistakes, had my share of the breaks
I’ve seen the boys on the make and on the bum
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Whoa, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Whoa, running man, running for home
I've seen all the frowns on the faces of the clowns
And the downs that they take just to be free
And I've seen all the girls in their pretty frocks and curls
Oh, but they don't mean a lot to me
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Whoa, running man, running for hooo-hooo-hooooome

Either there is a complete joker in the pack or he /she clicked in the wrong place!!
Prefer the over the top version with all the strings - it should be a big, emotional OTT song like Baker Street. This version is a bit flat.
Sadly they are totally out of tune on the chorus.
They're not out of tune! It's harmony ..
no, it's a harmony
