On Acoustic Session and Chat on Livestream Lisa did, she talked about this song.
“This song is called "Safe Travels (Don’t Die)” and it is a thing that my friend says to me. He always writes it at the end of texts and I just think it’s a lovely sentiment. It’s such a pure sentiment for how you feel...
[Verse 1]
Please eat your greens
And don't sit close to screens
Your eyes are a means to an end
And I would be sorry if, due to your hurry
You were hit by a lorry my friend
[Chorus]
Like you always say
Safe travels don't die, don't die
Safe travels, don't die
[Verse 2]
And don't walk on ice, no matter how nice
How sturdy, enticing it seems
Please cross at the lights
And don't start fires or fights and
Don't dabble in heights on caffeine
[Chorus]
Like you always say
Safe travels don't die, don't die
Safe travels, don't die
[Verse 3]
Don't swallow bleach
Out on Sandymount beach
I'm not sure I'd reach you in time my boy
Please don't bungee jump
Or ignore a strange lump
And a gasoline pumps not a toy
[Chorus]
Like you always say
Safe travels don't die, don't die
Safe travels, don't die
