[00:23.870] It was a cold day in London
[00:25.747] Dark clouds rumbling
[00:28.167] Grabbed the yellow pages under the bed
[00:32.462] I noticed an ad, it said
[00:35.690] 'Indian summer', '10 days of wonder'
[00:41.055] 'Paradise is yours for £50'
[00:44.270] I thought to myself that's it
[00:48.310]
[00:58.476] Told the wife to pack the bag
[01:00.373] Forget about the plans we had
[01:02.520] We're going east instead
[01:07.083] She looked at me and shakes her head
[01:10.590] I said, "Oh now, baby
[01:13.268] I know it sounds crazy
[01:15.443] But this may be the only chance we get
[01:18.915] We only get one life to live"
[01:23.221]
[01:32.938] So we grabbed the kids, and some body lotion, and we went to the middle of
[01:41.276] the Indian Ocean
[01:45.304]
[01:56.868] Our guide was there to meet us
[01:58.743] 'Welcome' sign to greet us
[02:00.896] Ten porters stood up like a wall
[02:04.402] Carried our bags to the hall
[02:09.778] The custom man smiled to me
[02:11.925] Begs so politely
[02:14.085] "Tell me, sir, have you any more?"
[02:18.379] I looked at him and said, "That's all"
[02:21.879]
[02:31.291] They drove us to the beach house
[02:33.439] I said, "Is this all ours?"
[02:35.597] They nodded and rolled out the bed
[02:40.172] I turned to my wife and said
[02:43.412]
[02:44.764] "Ooh now honey, I guess it's still sunny
[02:48.531] Let's all go down for a dip
[02:52.850] Before the sun sets"
[02:56.880]
[03:06.539] Suddenly I gazed up
[03:07.880] Upon the rising wave
[03:10.277] I saw the sea drawn from the sand
[03:14.585] I grabbed the wife and kids and ran
[03:19.426] "Please God, save us
[03:21.051] Please don't blame us
[03:23.182] For this is the only life we have
[03:27.494] We'll make it up if we were bad"
[03:32.336] The wave was a-pounding as we
[03:34.229] Scrambled up the mountain
[03:36.411] No one even dared to turn their head
[03:40.161] Just one slip and you're dead
[03:44.979]
[04:02.451] As the waves were dying
[04:04.065] A child was crying
[04:06.475] Searching for her mum and dad
[04:10.777] A thin dress was all she had
[04:15.363] She held us tight
[04:17.241] We looked far and wide
[04:19.391] But nothing there
[04:21.535] There was nothing left
[04:23.967] We all broke down and wept
[04:27.995]
[04:45.455] Then came the morning
[04:47.604] A new year was born
[04:49.497] The girl had been with us all night
[04:54.070] My wife looked down at her and sighed
[04:57.286] ......
[04:58.900] "Oh my darling, it's suddenly dawning
[05:02.649] But just take a look at those eyes
[05:06.940] She must be paradise"
[00:23.870] It was a cold day in London
[00:25.747] Dark clouds rumbling
[00:28.167] Grabbed the yellow pages under the bed
[00:32.462] I noticed an ad, it said
[00:35.690] ' Indian summer', ' 10 days of wonder'
