lyrics

I travelled through the world today
Went to places far away
I drank tea in Katmandu
If you like, you can do it too

From the grass of Amsterdam
To the jungles of Vietnam
They may say, it’s in my head
I stay inside, just like they said

Don’t pack your bags
Or run to the station
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation

Ride with gauchos though the Pampas
Play the pipes in your pink pajamas
Feel the breeze brush through my hair
As I ride on in my chair

Crash waves on the Cocacabana
Pick fruit in the cool Bahamas
All these things, I have to do
From the cell that’s my front room

Don’t pack your bags
Or run to the station
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation

Don’t pack your bags
Or run to the station
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation

Throw money in the Trevi Fountain
Scream and shout on Thunder Mountain
A wild ride or a roll in the hay
A goat curry on Montego Bay

London, Paris, Istanbul
Dacca, Dehli ,Timbuktu
Sydney, Hong Kong
Places new
Staying home is the thing to do

Don’t pack your bags
Or run to the station
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation

Don’t pack your bags
Or run to the station
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation

New York London Paris Munich
No-one’s playing
Pop music

You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation
You’ll have to do it all
On an armchair vacation

Tim, Richard, Rob, & Stephen.

"Fantastic, authentic, melodic old-skool electro, reminiscent of Morodor and Oakey at their best!"

“Original synthpop with a strong 80’s vibe – Depeche Mode meets Pulp!”

“A full house danced to the bands twin synthesisers, with ace base and psychedelic effects to glam the night to a higher plain”
