SURFER'S PARA-PARA-PARADISE

Because you can't pay a hot visit to the Gold Coast and Byron Bay without para-para-paraphrasing Coldplay


When she was just a girl, she expected the world


But it flew away from her reach


So she ran away in her sleep and dreamed of...


Para-para-paradise, 


Para-para-paradise, 


Para-para-paradise


Every time she closed her eyes.


When she was just a girl, she expected the world


But it flew away from her reach 


And the bullets catch in her teeth


Life goes on, it gets so heavy


The wheel breaks the butterfly, every tear a waterfall


In the night, the stormy night, she'd close her eyes


In the night, the stormy night, away she'd fly


And dream of para-para-paradise


Para-para-paradise


Para-para-paradise


She'd dream of para-para-paradise


Para-para-paradise


Para-para-paradise


La-la-la-la-la-la-la


La-la-la-la-la-la-la-


la-la-la


And so lying underneath those stormy skies 


She'd say, "oh I know the sun must set to rise"


This could be para-para-paradise


Para-para-paradise


This could be para-para-paradise


(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)


This could be para-para-paradise


Para-para-paradise


This could be para-para-paradise


(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)


This could be para-para-paradise


Para-para-paradise


This could be para-para-paradise


(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)


This could be para-para-paradise


Para-para-paradise


This could be para-para-paradise


(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)


This could be para-para-paradise


Para-para-paradise


This could be para-para-paradise


(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)


Viva la vida! I used to rule the whirl!

I CANBERRA MYSELF FLOWERS....

Spring has finally sprung down under, and this year's our last chance to see Floriade, the largest flower festival in the southern hemisphere.  Sure, it will take a three-hour bus ride to the nation's capital to get there, but as Cyrus herself might say: can love Can-ber-ra, I can love Can-ber-ra baby...

uy, blooming!

BONUS TRACK: After finishing Floriade, we were still able to swing by Cockington Green Gardens, a Model Village (with, alas, still no models) famous for its own unmissable flower beds...

...a gorgeous Philippine installation among the "Homes of the World" display ... 

...and, of course, lots and lots of little hidden jokes  

they came in like a wrecking ball
