lyrics

Parasols to shade them
Camembert to salt their lips
Worshipping a fire that burns all day
And all night
Nobody would blame them
Should you feel ashamed somehow?
Dripping with expensive golden light
Oh dear

Pale streak of mayonnaise
Why do you hate holidays?
You don't take any pictures of your life
Why should I?
Fumbling for favours
Coming up with bad ideas
Listening to me because you're polite

Treat me
To a day of your time
Waste the entire morning
Panic in the moonlight
Anything you want
You la la like it when we go away
You see see see the colour take my face
Twenty days are not enough for you
In between I stay in love with you

Sigh, cast your eye across the sea
And shiver as she softly cries
Deep lies of tenderest seduction
Beckoning you cruelly

Nothing, nothing can make us feel bad here
Now we are in Heaven on earth
And all the fences are electric
Listen, listening to the jackdaw
Singing about the people outside
Who want to tear you into pieces

Doesn't it take your mind off the violence
Didn't I read that sunshine repairs your sanity
And that jealousy is a virus
(We would care but no-one reminds us)
Too many people need your attention
Leave her a message
She'll do the best she can to get back to you
On everything that you mention
What will it take to take you away

And treat me
To a day of your time
Waste the entire morning
Panic in the moonlight
Anything you want
You la la like it when we go away
You see see see the colour take my face
Twenty days are not enough for you
In between I stay in love with you

But I have to say
I fear I've taken too much of your time
And now the night draws in
Dark blankets cover the things you need
Oh this is what happens when we don't plan
I told you we shouldn't get carried away
(Forgive me)
No-one now can claw these hours back into the day
As it perishes
