Graham Parker

Baggage

Come and pick up your baggage it's cluttering up my head

There always seems to be a catch to everything you've ever said

There always seems to be a lock a belt or a buckle or a key

The world is filling up with stuff I can't even see

It's like a mountain of debris that doesn't do anything

It just gets deeper than the sea and piles up to the sky ooo ooo

It stops you being where you should be, somewhere else

Come and pick up your baggage. Put it on another plane

It complicates the simple things steps on the brakes again and again

Shift it lug it move it on together with your point of view

It's getting hard to separate your baggage from you

It's like a virus or a germ that grows and divides and multiplies

Then eats your insides like a worm and piles up to the sky ooo ooo

It makes you old and infirm before your time

Come and pick up your baggage

Come and pick up your baggage it's weighing down my heart

You never seem to understand the horse is not the cart

Shift it lug it move it on together with your point of view

It's getting hard to separate your baggage from you

Pick it up
