about

A paradise that giveth and taketh away.

lyrics

Hey, stranger. How's tricks? Lovely weather out there
Is that a cappucino that you're cradling with care?
You clearly came here to be lost with your muse
But I have here an offer that you cannot refuse

We've beaches and bushwalks and bicycling tracks
Not one day goes by where no-one gets a flat
There's boarding and blading all set up in the park
We can't find the skates for them, but you might... in the dark

Dammit!

CHORUS
Life's bound to taste foul if you're filled up with bile
And life's little hiccups are great for a smile
So please stop on by and stay for a while
On dammit isle, on dammit isle

We're famous for parties, our bars and cafes
The pots always boil when we first look away
The bassline will quicken the pace of your heart
The sound's always pumping, at least 'til you fart

We've discounts for workers (heh, heh) til five o'clock
Our T-shirts are so chic, but they are all out of stock
We finished the promo video just yesterday
It's all up on Youtube - here, let me push play

Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and...

Dammit!

CHORUS

BRIDGE
We've got the rest cure if you've caught Schadenfreude
The one natural high truly better avoided
If life's only funny when it hits someone else
Ve have vays of helping you to laugh at yourself

CHORUS

So do me a favour and come for a visit
The barge leaves in... oh, shoot, looks like you've just missed it
It's time I that was leaving, my story's been told
You've not touched your coffee. I think it has gone cold.

Dammit!
