Fly My Pretties - Fly My Pretties, Barnaby Weir

Well, Wellington’s a small town

But it packs a lotta punch

There’s talent oozing from the walls

That eat ideas for lunch

It can get a little claustrophobic

Iven if you try, fly, my pretties, fly

Well, I reckon this town’s brilliant

In lots of different ways

But it doesn’t have the money

Or the glamor of L.A.

I’m sure one day you’ll make it in

The stars shining bright

If you have to go, then fly

Fly away

As long as you come back some day

Fly away

Hope to see you round some day

Well I’ve lived here my whole life

And sure the living’s sweet

But what I want’s the whole world

Just to listen to my beats

The only way to do this

Is to travel far and wide

So if you to go, then fly

They say that there’s a brain drain

I reckon that it’s true

To cruising offshore

Just to make a buck or two

It’s a little sad that we

Can’t do it alright here

But if you have to go

Fly away

As long as you come back some day

Fly away

Hope to see you round some day
