Ooh, I think there were a few years of my life that I sang that song constantly... the words I knew anyway. I had this lovely Scottish accent while I sang it too. Do do do do.. *do do do do*

BTW, it's 500 miles, not 5,000 - you Americans, always exaggerating  |

Yep, bigger here. We have to translate the song so it makes sense. 500 miles is nothing. It wonʻt even get me to the mainland US. 5000 might just about get me to my family.
