Postcards From Paraguay Lyrics
One thing was leading to the next
I bit off more than I could chew
I had the power to sign the cheques
It wasn’t difficult to do
I couldn’t stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won’t be sending postcards
From Paraguay

I robbed a bank full of dinero
A great big mountain of dough
So it was goodbye companero
And cheerio
I couldn’t stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won’t be sending postcards
From paraguay

I never meant to be a cheater
But there was blood on the wall
I had to steal from peter
To pay what I owed to paul
I couldn’t stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won’t be sending postcards
From paraguay

I like the cheery, sunshine-filled tune, in obvious contrast with the lyrics.

A lot of MK's songs are based on reality, but this one seems too vague to pin down to any event or person. Might it be something to do with Enron?

Great song, great music - I think the lyric is about a bookkeeper for a company. This person has "bite off more than they can chew" in their personal life and they have had to steal money from the company. They have to steal from Peter to pay Paul. This person, however, was able to escape to Paraguay. There will be no postcards from Paraguay because they are not on vacation, they are hiding and do not wish to be to be found. Basically, this is a song about white collar crime.
