An Innocent Abroad by Honker

[Oldrottenhead]

Kenneth sent me the music to this whilst i was on holiday in Colombia.  whilst there i wrote the lyric. back home yesterday and my body clock all to pot, I recorded the vocals today.
it is what it is.

Just know a little
I wish I knew more
Cos there's so much to learn
And so much to ignore
Hey.....
I don't know the lingo
But still walk the talk
With just a smile and a laugh
We can all get along
Hey.......
Put your foot in the water and go for a swim
Watch out for the sharks and the jelly fish stings
All the dangers presented by the denizens
Hey..............
Put your foot in the water and go for a swim
Hey.....
An innocent abroad having too much fun
Getting drunk in the evening and burnt in the sun
They all want your money they want to live your life
You can only give so much and you'll give what you can
Put your foot in the water and go for a swim
An innocent abroad having too much fun
Getting drunk in the evening getting burnt in the sun
An innocent abroad having too much fun
Getting drunk in the evening getting burnt in the sun
An innocent abroad having too much fun
Getting drunk in the evening getting burnt in the sun
An innocent abroad having too much fun
Getting drunk in the evening getting burnt in the sun
An innocent abroad having too much fun

Nice one, guys. I enjoyed the travelogue in song - and that ending is killer!

[thetworegs]

Excellent collab been following the pics on fb they seem to fit the song perfectly.... sounds nearly as good as your holiday ... that chorus is right ear worm

musical heaven

This might get me cancelled, but i've seen this song title pop out several times... and i always read it as "Innocent Broad Honkey".

As for the song. This is pop / art rock goodness. The production is quite LO-FI and understated, but what you're achieving with it is nothing short of a miracle. Huge choruses and soundscapes. Great stuff!

Love that keyboard swell when the harmony vocals enter. Such a satisfying ear worm.

Very different. Very cool.

Love the way it builds up to the end chorus thingy....very satisfying songwriting

You said whilst. Twice Loved hearing me a new Honker tune, really enjoyed it! I hear the weariness in your voice after a nice eventful vacation. Kind of felt like that when Ken and I did "Unglued", I spent almost a month of baking in the sun working in Venezuela.

We were all meant to be together
