The Geraldine Fibbers

The Geraldine Fibbers were an alt-country band founded in 1994 by Carla Bozulich. Initially, band members included Bozulich, Daniel Keenan, Julie Fowells, William Tutton and Kevin Fitzgerald. While Bozulich had previously been known for noisy industrial music, The Geraldine Fibbers fused American roots music and blues-influenced punk.Julie Fowells left the band quite early and was replaced with Bronwyn Adams who played violin on most of the pre-Virgin recordings. Just as the group signed to Virgin, Bronwyn Adams departed and was replaced with Jessy Greene who remained until mid-1997.

Don't cry when I say goodbye love
My hearts want to remain what I've become
But I feel your little hands a-tremblin'
'Cause you know the love we shared is nearly done 

And I'm goin' back to the place where
Folks like me are from 

My people won't forget me
They'll kill me if I try to fight
There's just no word for this where I come from
I was a trusted servant a noble scientist
But now a fugitive lover's what I've become 

And I'm goin' back to the place where
Folks like me are from 

I told you from the start that I was not what I appeared
But one look in your eyes and I loved you
My plans were corrupted by your sweet finger tips
And I was never meant to fall in love 

My work here was simple till I met you
I should've gone back a long time ago
This body's gettin' old and you know
I'll die in the cold winter sun 

I'm goin' back to the place
My old life and my old face
I'm goin' back to the place where
Folks like me are from 

Your lord knows I don't want to leave here
I'd like to stay in this little house and provide for you
And if I knew I'd only be risking my own life
I'd stay until they came and struck me dead
But I couldn't stand to see them hurt a hair on your sweet head 

So goodbye to laughter and kisses
Goodbye to your belly and your tongue
Back home I'll soon forget just what bliss is
And it don't seem fair

But I'm goin' back to the place
Back to my own race
You won't have to live life on the run
I'm goin' back to the place where
Folks like me are from
