lyrics

In my dream the suntan cream
Has stained your paperback
Your hair is hennaed and
Your fingernails are painted black
In my dream you lose your page
As the sea breeze rolls in
Smelling of patchouli oil
And reading Anaïs Nin

The seaweed dried up in the heat
The water warming in rock pools
The sand so hot it burns your feet
The sand so hot it never cools
Your Walkman infiltrates the air
Sounds like ‘River Euphrates’
Your Raybans reflect my stare, yeah
Dream of the late eighties

Muscle men are kicking sand
Pieces of raw meat
Are sizzling on the burger stand
The honeycomb is bittersweet
Hiding yourself from the sun
Is your idea of summertime fun
Deathly pallor and hair of jet
Cocteau Twins on a compilation cassette

Looking at my phone I said:
‘Have you seen what the date is?
What’s happening?
I guess this must be some kind of hiatus...’
You didn’t have to say a word
You just stared at my phone
Then returned to your paperback
You returned to your time zone
