Generate meaning
1
It was a cold day in London
2
Dark clouds rumbling
3
Grabbed the yellow pages under the bed
4
I noticed an ad, it said
5
'Indian summer', '10 days of wonder'
6
'Paradise is yours for í‚£50'
7
I thought to myself that's it
8
Told the wife to pack the bag
9
Forget about the plans we had
10
We're going east instead
11
She looked at me and shakes her head
12
I said, "Oh now, baby
13
I know it sounds crazy
14
But this may be the only chance we get
15
We only get one life to live"
16
So we grabbed the kids
17
And some body lotion
18
And we went to the middle of the
19
Indian Ocean
20
Our guide was there to meet us
21
'Welcome' sign to greet us
22
Ten porters stood up like a wall
23
Carried our bags to the hall
24
The custom man smiled to me
25
Begs so politely
26
"Tell me, sir, have you any more?"
27
I looked at him and said, "That's all"
28
They drove us to the beach house
29
I said, "Is this all ours?"
30
They nodded and rolled out the bed
31
I turned to my wife and said
32
"Ooh now honey, I guess it's still sunny
33
Let's all go down for a dip
34
Before the sun sets"
35
Suddenly I gazed up
36
Upon the rising wave
37
I saw the sea drawn from the sand
38
I grabbed the wife and kids and ran
39
"Please God, save us
40
Please don't blame us
41
For this is the only life we have
42
We'll make it up if we were bad"
43
The wave was a-pounding as we
44
Scrambled up the mountain
45
No one even dared to turn their head
46
Just one slip and you're dead
47
As the waves were dying
48
A child was crying
49
Searching for her mum and dad
50
A thin dress was all she had
51
She held us tight
52
We looked far and wide
53
But nothing there
54
There was nothing left
55
We all broke down and wept
56
Then came the morning
57
A new year was born
58
The girl had been with us all night
59
My wife looked down at her and sighed
60
"Oh my darling, it's suddenly dawning
61
But just take a look at those eyes
62
She must be paradise"
