Story behind the song
Business travel. Sounds so exciting doesn't it? Business class on the plane, 4 star hotels, exotic sounding destinations... Anyone who has lived this life for any length of time will probably be able to identify with this one!
Lyrics
Travellers Hell © Mark Green* 2004. Another late night taxi ride Another soulless hotel Another city I’ll never know I’m still trapped in, trapped in travellers hell The girl on the tram with the golden hair Reminds me briefly of home But all I’ve got now to look forward to here Are a room service dinner and CNN And another night sleeping alone Squashed next to a guy, who’s too big for the seat Inedible in-flight meal And the captain he says, our landing’s delayed My connection takes off just before we will land Oh! This really is loosing appeal Another late night taxi ride Another lonely hotel Another city I’ll never know I’m still trapped in, trapped in travellers hell PowerPoint slides and glazed-over eyes I really don’t know why I’m here And what we’ve got later to look forward to Are polite talk and dinner with strangers again? And probably much too much beer This jet setting job that your friends all envy, Is not what it’s cracked up to be. Tomorrow at least I’m homebound again Until the next trip to a far flung new land And another place I’ll never see Another late night taxi ride Another business hotel Another city I’ll never know I’m still trapped in, trapped in travellers hell … * With thanks to Rob Leonard for the “tram” line!
