Getaway by Kenneth and Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

Kenneth posted this here https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?board=93.0 i thought it would be a few days before i got to it, as i have a lot of overtime this week. yup saving up for holidays. so words came quickly. house was a riot, so was hard to find a quiet spot, ended up in the kitchen and had to turn off the fridge freezer and if you listen carefully you might here my eldest screaming "DAD!!" (on the last "let's getaway"  ) for me to shut up.

I count the months the days the hours
it can't come quick enough
I break my back to earn the cash
so we can do whatever we want
let's getaway
head for the sun
don't worry i've booked our flights
and somewhere nice to stay
it's gonna be alright
i've checked it's all okay
let's getaway
and head for the sun
it's only once a year
let's go have fun
it's the only reason I get out of bed
to do the knuckle down
something to look forward to
something to remember for forever
let's getaway
and head for the sun
it's only once a year
let's go have fun
let's getaway
and head for the sun
it's only once a year
let's go have fun
let's go before we get too old
and we haven't got the strength to enjoy ourselves
let's do it all before we die
so we've no regrets, no we're never gonna have regrets
let's getaway
and head for the sun
it's only once a year
let's go have fun
let's getaway
and head for the sun
it's only once a year
let's go have fun

[Redler]

Brilliant as always! Agree with Alex about writing and performing... Ken's backers are so dynamic and clear!

Fine lyric as well...makes me book the next holiday

Superb job Honker!

[Johnny Robbo]

Great collab, chaps! Sounds a bit "Travis-y". Superb lyrics & vocal, James & a great backer from Kenneth. That unscripted backing vocal puts me in mind of John Lennon's famous expletive in Hey Jude 

[Kenneth]

Ah! I like it James! That was quiiiick!!!
Thanks for listening guys!

[Blooby]

Nearly fell out of my chair when the band kicked in. Really cool arrangement here. Well done to the both of you.
