About Me

My name’s Alan Sprung and I was born in Coventry, England on the 16th March 1950.

I’ve been writing my own songs since about 1995. I like to write songs that encourage people to think about social and political issues that I believe are important.

I still live in Coventry with my partner, Maggie Holdsworth, and we have two lovely daughters - Ella, who was born in 1983 and Eppie, who was born in 1986.

If you need to contact me you can email me at the following address:

Hope you find a song that means something to you.

Home

I’ve lived all my life in this city
Spent most of my days in this town
A lot of people say they don’t like it ‘round here
But to me it just feels like home

I’ve seen other places, other countries
There are places that I love to roam
But at the end of the day, when the sun sinks away
I just want to head back home

Chorus:

Home, they say’s where your heart is
A place to belong, that’s your home
And maybe return at the end of your days
‘Cos your home is your home is your home

Sometimes your home is your country
Sometimes your home is your town
Sometimes your home’s where you have to make it
As you just try to settle down

I’ve got friends living here in this city
Friends that I’m proud to have known
If you met them you’d see they’re like family to me
They really make it feel like home

But how must it be for those people
Who came here from over the sea
Some had to leave all their family behind
Just too work next to you and me

Well I know they haven’t always felt welcome
This town, to them, can’t seem real
No relatives’ smile for such a long while
Just think how you might feel
