Far Away - Fly My Pretties, Mel Parsons

Well Wellington’s a small town

But it packs alotta punch

There’s talent oozing from the walls

That eat ideas for lunch

It can get a little claustophobic even 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 glamour of LA

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 braindrain

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 all right 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
