about
Written in a feverish jam session and recorded in an 8 hour marathon of music, "Jet Set" embodies the essence of The Honeyrunners.
lyrics
I was a young boy, it was a big big world
I had a motorbike, I chased the red-headed girls
My life was simple then, can I be a man like my father, my father can?
Lived at mom & dad's, I guess it wasn't so bad
Learned electric guitar, dreamed of far away land
Jimmy P and Plant, one day I'll have my own band
Then my neighbour, my neighbour said
"Boy, get your goddamn feet wet
Jet set, into the wilderness
See the city lights of a paradise"
I bought a plane ticket to the North-East coast
Of Australia, to get far from home
Wasn't far enough to get me out of my head
Goddamn this safety net
I sailed across the sea, to get a fear of the free
Crossed a desert plain, to feel a real pain
Broke a lot of hearts, and slept out in the rain
Dreaming of what my neighbour said
"Boy, get your goddamn feet wet
Jet set, into the wilderness
See the city lights of a paradise"
Don't come back 'till you understand
Don't come back 'till you understand
Don't come back 'till you understand
Whyyyyyyy?
"Boy, get your goddamn feet wet
Jet set, into the wilderness
See the city lights of a paradise"
I am an old man, I've done some right and some wrong
I've got my own band, I've written hundreds of songs,
Hope that my old man, he would be proud of the man that I've become
My only wish in life is that my little boy
Will live a million lives and find a fear to destroy
Just take my ad, take my ad, take my advicccccccccccceeeeeee
and do what the neighbour says
"Boy, get your goddamn feet wet
Jet set, into the wilderness
See the city lights of a paradise"
"Boy, get your goddamn feet wet
Jet set, into the wilderness
See the city lights of a paradise"
