[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"
