Lyrics
Over Christmas I went back to the place that I was born just to see my old friends and family.
And the sad fact slowly dawned that there's really nothing else in those shores to go back for.
Apart from ale and pies, apart from ale and steak and kidney pies.
Cornish pasties are a gift (a gift from heaven)
But why do all the pubs close early? (they close at eleven)
And why so surly? (what do you want?)
I know that it's early (what you want?)
I want you to serve me.
And help me, please, to understand how the hell you got a job in sales.
Now I live here, in Japan, and I'm not sure I'll ever be a part of the community.
And the sad fact slowly dawned that there's really nowhere else for me to call a home.
I'll always be a gaijin. Always be a gaikokujin.
Sakura falling into wines at Hanami (totemo kireina).
But it's really hard to find locations so just name your streets.
But you're not surly (irashaimase),
Although it's early (irashaimase)
You're happy to serve me.
Help me, please, to understand irashaimase.
And the sad fact slowly dawned that there's really nothing else in those shores to go back for.
Apart from ale and pies, apart from ale and steak and kidney pies.
Cornish pasties are a gift (a gift from heaven)
But why do all the pubs close early? (they close at eleven)
And why so surly? (what do you want?)
I know that it's early (what you want?)
I want you to serve me.
And help me, please, to understand how the hell you got a job in sales.
Now I live here, in Japan, and I'm not sure I'll ever be a part of the community.
And the sad fact slowly dawned that there's really nowhere else for me to call a home.
I'll always be a gaijin. Always be a gaikokujin.
Sakura falling into wines at Hanami (totemo kireina).
But it's really hard to find locations so just name your streets.
But you're not surly (irashaimase),
Although it's early (irashaimase)
You're happy to serve me.
Help me, please, to understand irashaimase.

Very catchy and likeable. Perhaps the vocals need a bit of a polish and a female backing voice would compliment well. Have you thought of asking if someone would collaborate?
