about

Right place, right time, no money. The main reason most people aren't rich. They have no money because they have no money. Glad it got away really

lyrics

GOT AWAY

A sign stood there alone, near Byron Bay
Land for sale near town, it was auction day
Twenty thousand down is what you had to lay
Acres on the outskirts of Byron Bay
Life among the leisured, a life of play, in Byron Bay
Byron Bay, the one that got away, Byron Bay

In the paddock on our knees beneath the sign
Fungus punching through and it was harvest time
Down the hatch with honey in a sticky slime
Off our scones on psylocibes in Byron Bay
Life among the leisured, a life of play, in Byron Bay...
It got away...Byron Bay

Wasn't meant to be, wasn't meant to be, wasn't meant to be
Innocence was what I planned to lose that day
Life among the leisured, a life of play, in Byron Bay

Back inside the tent to watch the rain in sheets
Time to ponder futures, incomplete
Thinking of the gold mine sitting at our feet
And wealth it came to dominate our thought
We were nineteen thousand, several hundred short, in Byron Bay
Byron Bay, the one that got away, Byron Bay...
It got away...Byron Bay

Wasn't meant to be, wasn't meant to be, wasn't meant to be
Wasn't meant to be, wasn't meant to be, wasn't meant to be
Wasn't meant to be, wasn't meant to be, wasn't meant to be
