  Liberally sprayed about.
 Intro
Everybody’s  got themselves a plan
And  Everybody thinks they’ll be the man,  including the girls
The  musicians who lack the friends to form  a band, The Singer Songwriters
The  rest of us are Djs or official club photographers
Well  tonight I’m playing another nambuka  show
So  im going through my phonebook texting  everyone I know
And  quite a few I don’t who’s numbers found  their way into my phone
They  might come along anyway, you never really  know
And  none of this is going  anywhere
And  Pretty soon we’ll all be old
And  noone left alive will  really care
About  our glory days when we sold our souls
But  if you’re all about the destination
Then  take a fucking flight
We’re  going nowhere slowly but we’re
Seeing  all the sights  and we’re
Definitely  going  to hell but we’ll have
All  the best stories  to tell Yes  im
Definitely  going  to hell But I’ll have
All  the best stories  to tell
