lyrics

On the day that never was….
A homeless Fregan scouring the beach, free food’s your vocation
At the Casino you polished off a steak, you refuse to pay for
All you wear in Court is a Man Bag and a pair of shorts

Made a pump for freshwater, showers from the billabong
Rigged a car battery up for power, turned the fridge and the stereo on
The hermit crabs crawled around our heads, I could stay here forever
Through the canopy above were stars, never thought I’d break your heart

CHORUS
On the day that never was, rainbows in the sky
Ask for a rainbow to appear right before your eyes

On the day that never was….
A Rainbow poster for Nimbin, Festival destination
Let’s go to the Day Out of Time, on the run from immigration
We hit 2 kangaroos on the way back from the day that never came
The actual date was 6 years past, never thought I’d break your heart

CHORUS

Bridge
If I want rainbows I’ll see rainbows, the day that never was
If I want rainbows I’ll see rainbows, the day that never was “

Inst. Verse

On the day that never was….
On the day that never was….
My husband’s visa run out, he was desperate to stay
I agree to sign the papers, on the run from immigration
His release was finally due, I couldn’t break the news
My affection kept for the dark, never thought I’d break your heart

CHORUS x 2

On the day that never was….
If I want rainbows I’ll see rainbows
