Run to paradise- ChoirBoys

[jazzhot]

I love this classic aussie song..

Always wanted to know what it means. I assume many havent heard it. U should check it out in Itunes.

Awesome rock song.

Going by the lyrics below id say its about taking drugs - hence the reference to running to paradise...

Thoughts?
______________________________________________
Baby!
You were always gonna be the one
You only ever did it just for fun
But you run to paradise

Jenny!
I'll meet you at the grocery store
You dont need a friend when you can score
You run to paradise

Jonny!
We were always best of friends
Stick together and defend
But you run to paradise

And Mumma!
Now don't you worry bout' me anymore
When i see you crying at the door
And i run to paradise

Thats right they had it all worked out
You were young and blonde
And you could never do wrong
Thats right they were so suprised
You Opened their eyes up, opened their eyes up
Opened their eyes up

You don't want anyone
You don't want anyone
Don't tell me this is paradise
Open your eyes up
You don't want anyone
You don't want anyone
Don't tell me this is paradise

Good times, Why'd i let ém slip away?
Why'd i let them slip away?
Cause i lived in paradise

Run to paradise
Run to paradise
Run to paradise

Jesus says it's gonna be alright
He's gonna pack my bag
So i can walk in the light
You don't mind if i abuse myself
So i can hold my head up, hold my head up
Hold my head up

You don't want anyone
You don't want anyone
Don't tell me this is paradise
Open your eyes up
You don't need anyone
You don't need anyone
You'll tell me this is paradise

You don't want anyone
You don't want anyone
You'll tell me this is paradise
You don't need anyone
You don't want anyone
Don't tell me this is paradise

Shouldn't this be in the NOSTALGIA thread??? A good song I must admit... should have been a top 40 hit... but got stuck in that '89-'90 period when there were simply too many good songs out...

Well no, coz im asking for an opinion...

Its not about reminiscing...I just curious if anyone agrees about what the lyrics mean

I'm really surprised that someone bought up this song. I always believed it deserved more credit than it received in the U.S.
