When Benjamin Disraeli was Prime Minister of England, And good old Queen Victoria was the Queen, Whenever she would need him for official palace business, Disraeli, he was nowhere to be seen. She went down to 10 Downing Street, The doorbell there she rang, And when there was no answer, This is what the good Queen sang: Won’t you come home, Disraeli. Won’t you come home. Come home to Queen Victoria. Don’t leave that House of Commons, and that House of Lords. Just sittin’ waitin’ for ya. I’m gettin’ awful lomesome, 'cause all I do Is sit here reading Ethan Frome. Now don’t leave me flat, The key to the palace is under the mat. Disraeli, won’t you please come home. ---

[Looks over shoulder for copyright lawyers] This night these memories lost and found Are taking over me I could see your picture and hear the sound Of the song you sung to me You gotta feel and take every chance You did the right thing Drove a thousand miles away Out of trace and in another time You did the wrong thing And bought it back in your mind Why’s life so unkind? For always and ever it’s getting better I feel your steps with mine I’m moving on like it said in the letter Another place, another time Blown away Blown away Blown away Blown away Blown away Blown away Blown away Got blown away, a thousand miles away ---

Shatter every window till it’s all blown away, Every brick, every board, every slamming door flown away Till there’s nothing left standing, Nothing left to yesterday Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away, Blown away She heard those sirens screaming out Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch She locked herself in the cellar Listened to the screaming of the wind Some people called it taking shelter She called it sweet revenge ---
