Allday - Big Yellow Taxi (Triple J Like A Version) Lyrics






[The Veronicas:]
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot

[The Veronicas & Allday:]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Oooo-bop-bop-bop
Oooo-bop-bop-bop)

[The Veronicas:]
They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them

[The Veronicas & Allday:]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Oooo-bop-bop-bop
Oooo-bop-bop-bop)

[Allday:]
Well I went down the coast but there's no coral reef
'Cause Adani stole the coal so all the corals bleached
So I went to the city but I don't wanna breath
Cause the smog in the air just makes me cough and wheeze
Going stir crazy like Milo, high as trees until it drops me
Thought I had depression but I just needed a coffee
And the Amazon's dying but we got Amazon Prime
Too busy to be angry so they carry on lying
Well there's a plastic island in our ocean that I heard about
We got to turn around this shit before it burns us out
We focus on our differences but we should kill the billionaires
Invest in local businesses, grow potatoes, spinachs
Might need my head checked, might need McAfee
Grew up on some poison, they called it McHappy
I guess you don't don't know what you got till it's packing
And it speeds down the road in a big yellow taxi

[The Veronicas & Allday:]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Oooo-bop-bop-bop)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Oooo-bop-bop-bop)
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Oooo-bop-bop-bop)
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Oooo-bop-bop-bop)
(Oooo-bop-bop-bop)

  33. G.... T....

    I love this - and restless - but allday's lyrics are the new mis-heard lyrics of the 10s cos nobody knows what tf he's rapping;singing about. Some clarity and a good tune like restless or this & he would smack it out the park.

    You’ve all been lied to about everything Research “200 proofs” also Fluoride is a poison but everyone thinks it’s good for them, it’s actually a mining waste.

    Research “Geo Engineering” which is basically chemtrails but renamed. They spray the sky and poison the water to dumb us down and stop us from reaching our full potential

    They aren’t human either they are an Evil race of beings called Reptilians research “The Matrix Reptilian Neo” for more proof.

    Research all conspiracy theories.

    Please wake up and spread the word and do your own research, stop believing others.

    K.... ....

  69. d.... ....

    “We focus on our differences but we should kill the billionaires” ...yes 😢

    d.... ....

    donotberacist lol to the “progressives” who actually think it’s okay to say things like “kill the billionaires”

  70. s.... w....

    Fuck this is actually great

  71. T.... N....

    This is trash

  72. F.... C....

    Spotify please!

  73. S.... S....

    The Veronica's should kiss each other

    S.... S....

    Does Mummy know you have an account Sam?

  74. J.... X....

    This is a good cover 🤗

  75. J.... R....

    Classic song destroyed by rapping crap.
    Why do people think they can do a better version than the original?
    Let it go.
    Write & perform your own classics.

    J.... R....

    You understand it's Like A Version not Just A Cover or Must Be Better, right? You sound like you missed the concept. Looking forward to your musical effort though, sounds like you know your.... Stuff.

    J.... R....

    come back and comment when you actually know what like a version is

  76. J.... ....

    Allday is so underrated

  77. R.... W....

    I’d never heard Allday before this but damn I’d like to hear some more!

    R.... W....

    Rose Walters shuffle him on Spotify, dude really does no wrong

  78. r.... ....

    idk why allday singing in an australian accent pisses me off

    r.... ....

    rusty he’s an Aussie m8

  79. B.... a....

    Allday is whack man, he might impress anyone who's never heard a rap song before but his soft delivery and whack lyrics are dreadful. Stir crazy like milo?! Lol

  80. A.... ....

    If I take my glasses off looks like All-day singin with two primary school age girls. Bloody hell they are tiny!

    A.... ....

    They used to come into my bottle shop back in 2005 and yes they're both quite short.

  81. K.... R....

    Great verse 👌 solid cover! Thanks 🙏🏻

  82. B.... W....

    Someone give them a hamburger.

  83. A.... A....

    Used to like allday then kinda went away but this definitely sparked the flame for me, this is sick.

  84. J.... L....

    This is SO GOOD! Nearly starting crying listening to it on the radio on the drive to work. Thank you for using your platform to talk about the important issues 🌏💖

  85. C.... ....

    "Well I went down the coast, but there's no coral reef cause Adani stole the coal, so all the coral's bleached. So I went to the city, but I don't wanna breathe cause the smog in the air just makes me cough and wheeze. Going stir-crazy like Milo. Higher trees till it drops me(?). Thought I had depression but I just needed a coffee. I know Amazon's down but we got Amazon prime. Too busy to be angry so they carry online. Well there's a plastic island in the ocean, that I heard about. We gotta turn around this ship before it burns us out. We focus on our differences, but we should kill the billionaires, invest in local businesses, grow potatoes, spinaches. Might need my head checked. Might need my coffee(?). I grew up on some poison, they called it McHappy. I guess you don't know what you got until it's packing and it speeds down the road in a Big Yellow Taxi."


    Honestly the most poignant and well thought verse, big ups to Allday for this killer cover.

    C.... ....

    and the timing of it also on point...

    C.... ....

    Cooliew I’m thinking the lines may be:

    “Going stir-crazy like milo, high as trees until it drops me”

    “Too busy to be angry so they carry on lyin’”

    “Might need my head checked, might need McAfee” (like the antivirus software)

    C.... ....

    @Emily Silvester that's correct

  86. N.... M....

    Yuck, this is making me cringe

  87. S.... _....

    Veronica’s heads are to big for there body’s

  88. H.... A....

    I love absolutely every single thing about this

  89. e.... i....

    M.... ....

  92. d.... a....

  93. n.... b....
