I am a compulsive escapee
A dedicated-slave, seeking
To seek out the free
Free place
Free time
Free to entirely be
I want to be really
Really John
Really free
Freedom found in the shopping mall
Freedom found in the café bar
Freedom found in the queue for bugger all
Freedom found in my motor car
Freedom of the silver stream
Freedom of the beachside dream
Freedom of the coffee and cream
Freedom to be really mean, really mean
Thanks to John Otway & Wild Willy Barratt
