Lyrics Tim Minchin - Not Going Anywhere

I am not
I am not a polyglot
I can only speak one language
I hope you comprendez (vous)
I can see
You’re listening but not hearing me
Like Tarzan gripping onto a grapevine
You’re looking for street signs
I’ll leave you be if be is what you’d rather
I guarantee you’ll never find another
Cos I’m not going anywhere
I’m not going anywhere
Take my hand
I’ll be here when you wake up again
I’m not going anywhere
I’m not going anywhere
Please don’t cry
Close your little violet eyes
Who’d have thought
That I could be an Argonaut
I can only carry you so far
Searching for my star
I can see
We’re sliding towards entropy
Like Ulysses beginning his Odyssey
It’s all Greek to me
I’m only hearing half of what you’re sayin’
I’ve never heard a single song you’re playin’
Now I’m not going anywhere
I’m not going anywhere
Take my hand
I’ll be here when you wake up again
I’m not going anywhere
I’m not going anywhere
Please don’t cry
Close your pretty violet eyes
I am not
I am not a polyglot
I can only hear one language
I hope you can speak it (too)
I can see
You looking but not seeing me
Like Homer writing poems that he can’t read
It’s very temporary
You look at me I see you’re doubting Thomas
I’ll let you be but leave you with a promise
Girl I’m not going anywhere
I’m not going anywhere
Take my hand
I’ll be here when you wake up again
I’m not going anywhere
I’m not going anywhere
I’m not going if you’re not going
You’re stuck with me now
You’re stuck with me now baby
Stuck with me now baby
you you you you ya-aa oh
