The Divine Comedy - Come Home Billy Bird 

one of the few songs I don't mind being stuck in my head, it's just lovely

I thought I was the only one with "international business traveler" in my head for several years...

This is my son's life, this song makes me well up each time I hear it. So well observed.

The only time I ever heard this song was when I saw them play it at the V Festival in 2004 - It was by far the high point of that event. I loved it, but didn't hear the title and haven't been able to find it until just now. I'm not disappointed.

i love the 12 string guitar sound in this great song.

'An Excellent Song'

On a recent business trip to Frankfurt this kept running through my mind...

wonderful tune & good video :) Love the Divine comedy & this is easily one of there finest tunes. Such a sweet story to it.

Thanks Ashens.

love this song!

this song has something about it! its brilliant and gives me the feeling i only get in an airport :S

^^ Today i recieved a letter from Neil himself about this Song =D... I adore this Song, and The Divine Comedy

The most Road Trip inducing song ever

You are so right.i only heard it on radio 2 this morning and it rocks.

I wish I never searched it. It's a good song, but IT IS STUCK IN MY HEAD.

wow! nobody hates this video

love this tune. i first heard it on vinyl single i stumbled upon and fell in love with it.. International business traveller lol try not to sing that bit!

This song reminds me of the Mark n Lard show ……..Good times

Stay fresh, Cheesebags.

lauren laverne is backing vocals .cool.she is a real gud singer.she wasted on tv

Now I'm trying to imagine this on crap speakers. Great song though.

Ashens Poundland Special 2!

Couldn't agree more.

Now where did I put those Flat Pack Speakers??

Ahh I KNEW I WASN'T THE ONLY ASHENS FAN THAT SEARCHED IT!!

well as my name is Billy Bird it would be rude not to come home and yes it is my real name :D

Stuart Ashen has a fucking good music taste.

2020 update: International covid carrier

me too! strange o.o

-Is this an official video or fan-made?- Never mind. Seeing as how Hannon is in the video, I'm going to assume it's official.

Ashens

I get that reference at least!

Great song and great video, if slightly creepy in places.

Lead singer sounds a bit like the guy from Echo and the Bunnymen..

@adzthejuggler123 I'm 'avin' a brew!

I'm well aware of father ted.

was that clara the carefree chicken?! omg... lol

Wrong. The Divine Comedy are quite a famous band, and are probably even better known because of a certain sitcom called 'Father Ted'.

You are only known of because of a Briton and his sofa.

Well then you claiming that the Divine Comedy would be quite famous and successful based on Ashens alone is quite ludicrous.

thank you, chef excellence
