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!

CITY SLICKER SURFER DUDES

City2Surf is Australia's largest fun run attracting over 70,000 "runners" who make their way from Sydney's CBD up through its posh hilly coastal suburbs and all the way down to world-famous Bondi Beach -- a "fun" 14 kms in all. The LLDD-Hyphen-L and I joined this year's edition on a whim with no real special preparation just our existing "fitness" levels I'm sure it'll go "well" because really it's all about the charity and having a good time and not making good time, RIGHT SWEETIE?!

This is just an exhibition. This is not a competition.  

Please...no wagering.

Fun run or not, the LLDD-Hyphen-L smoked my time pero naisip ko lang lahat humahanga sa "follow me" influencers paano na lang yung mga taga-kuha nila ng picture OH WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE ALALAY PHOTOGRAPHERS

(hindi ko lang talaga siya ma-overtake)

Happy and humbled, Husband will move on to another sport he can actually win, like competitive hot dog eating. Or Gardenscapes.
