Hometown Unicorn

About Hometown Unicorn

"Hometown Unicorn" is the debut single by Super Furry Animals, released on Alan McGee's Creation Records label on 26 February 1996. It reached #47 in the UK Singles Chart and was voted as "Single of the Week" in NME. The packaging of the single features a quote in Welsh, 'Bydded goleuni!', which means 'Let there be light!'. This practice of including Welsh quotes was followed by every subsequent SFA single up to, and including, "Demons" in 1997. "It's about this French teenager called Franck Fontaine who disappeared in 1979, then turned up a week later, claiming he had been abducted by aliens," observed Tim Wheeler of Ash. "Of course, there's always the chance that he went on holiday." A photograph of Fontaine appears on the CD single and on the sleeve of Fuzzy Logic. more »

I was lost
Lost on the bypass road
Could be worse
I could be turned to toad
Won't you take me back to my hometown?
Take me back before I break down

I say you please return me
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine
Just like Frankie Fontaine

I wonder what can I do?

I was found
Riding a unicorn
Could be worse
I could be backwards born
Won't you take me back to my hometown?
Take me back before I break down

Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine

I say you please return me
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine

I wonder what can I do?

Calm down and then leave me alone
Calm down and then leave me alone 
Calm down and then leave me alone 
Calm down and then leave me alone 

I say you please return me
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine
Just like Frankie Fontaine
