Alice Merton - No Roots

[Intro:]
I like digging holes and hiding things inside them,
When I grow all the hope, I won't forget to find them,
‘Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night.

[Verse 1:]
I build a home and wait for someone to tear it down,
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next time around,
‘Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night.

[Pre-Chorus:]
And a thousand times I've seen this road,
A thousand times!

[Chorus:]
I've got no roots!
But my home was never on the ground.
I've got no roots!
But my home was never on the ground.
I've got no roots!
I've got no roots!
I've got no roots!
But my home was never on the ground.
I've got no roots!
But my home was never on the ground.
I've got no roots!
I've got no roots!

[Verse 2:]
I like standing still for, that's just the wishful plan,
Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land,
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night.
I count gates and numbers, and play the guessing game,
It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same,
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night.

[Pre-Chorus:]
And a thousand times I've seen this road,
A thousand times!

[Chorus:]
I've got no roots!
But my home was never on the ground.
I've got no roots!
But my home was never on the ground.
I've got no roots!
I've got no roots!
I've got no roots!
But my home was never on the ground.
I've got no roots!
But my home was never on the ground.
I've got no roots!
I've got no roots!

[Bridge:]
I like digging holes, hiding things inside them,
When I grow old, I won't forget to find them.
I like digging holes, hiding things inside them,
When I grow old, I won't forget to find them.

[Chorus:]
I've got no roots!
No roots!
I've got no roots!
But my home was never on the ground.
I've got no roots!
But my home was never on the ground.
I've got no roots!
I've got no roots!
I've got no roots!
But my home was never on the ground.
I've got no roots!
But my home was never on the ground.
I've got no roots!
I've got no roots!
No!





No Roots

I like digging holes and hiding things inside them
When I'll grow old I hope I won't forget to find them
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

I built a home and wait for someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I've seen this road,
A thousand times

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
I've got no roots

I like standing still, boy that's just a wishful plan
Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

I count gates and numbers, and play the guessing name
It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I've seen this road,
A thousand times

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
I've got no roots

I like digging holes,
Hiding things inside them
When I'll grow old
I won't forget to find them
I like digging holes,
Hiding things inside them
When I'll grow old
I won't forget to find them
I've got NO ROOTS!
NO ROOTS!

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
I've got no roots
