Lyrics

Postcards From Paraguay

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

One thing was leading to the next

I bit off more than I can chew

I had the power to sign the cheques

It wasn't difficult to do

I couldn't stay and face the music

So many reasons why

I won't be sending postcards

From Paraguay

I robbed a bank full of diñero

A great big mountain of dough

So it was goodbye compañero

And cheerio

I couldn't stay and face the music

So many reasons why

I won't be sending postcards

From Paraguay

I never meant to be a cheater

But there was blood on the wall

I had to steal from Peter

To pay what I owed to Paul

I couldn't stay and face the music

So many reasons why

I won't be sending postcards

From Paraguay
