about

The oldest song on the album, reintroduced by Mick (the drummer) in my bassist Philly Kennedy's kitchen after a gig, over a few drinks...

lyrics

Love Oceans

I spent so long in the sublime,
Looking for you but every time,
I fall down and I fall over.
But not you, not you, you flew,
With aerodynamic angel wings,
And I knew, I knew that you,
Were a combination of everything,
That I wanted coz you’re special,
And you’re different, we belong together.

CHORUS
And I’m waiting,
Oh I’m waiting,
To see you again,
To be with you.
And I’m saving,
All my money,
I’ll buy a Morris Minor,
For me and you.
And I’m dying,
Everyday,
Just to hear you say,
I love you,
Because I,
I love you oceans
I love you Oceans, I do

Just wanna make you realise,
I could drown in your quivering green eyes,
And I don’t want this to be over.
About my failures you didn’t care,
And I’m enchanted by your hair,
Sundrenched with melted streams of gold,
And gold and silver can’t behold,
Your beauty coz you hold fast on my soul,
You are the sun the shines on my soul, on my soul.

CHORUS
