Paris Street Hits The Beach

from You by Paris Street

lyrics

It’s too nice a day to let slip by
The June heat’s at a minimum
There’s no real reason for staying inside
The clouds help to temper the sun

Hundreds of miles of coastline here
That are rarely given a passing thought
We take it for granted every year
Meaning to go but then not

There’s no time for excuses
There’s no reason for refusing
There’s only one place we should go
We’ll regret it if we say no, you know

We both know the thought that nags in our minds
Our schedules rarely coalesce
Sooner or later we’ll run out of time
And we’ll both be to blame for the mess

If this keeps up then what is the point
Of being together if we
Are never able to fully enjoy
The other’s much-missed company

So there’s no time for excuses
All that’s left to choose is
Whether to bring along some beers or some wine
Plus a lotion with an SPF that’s sky high

Make a summer playlist
To blare along the way with
Jimmy Cliff and The Ramones
Jimmy Cliff and The Ramones

The Wannadies and Beulah
Elvis, Cults, The Who and
Harold Melvin, Shannon Jones
Harold Melvin, Shannon Jones

The Go-Go’s and The Four Tops
Yo La Tengo, Magnapop
Pet Shop Boys, Jemina Pearl
Pet Shop Boys, Jemina Pearl

Deerhunter, Chuck Berry
Slade and Mungo Jerry
The Lucksmiths and Brazilian Girls
The Lucksmiths and Brazilian Girls
They go bah bah ba-ba bah
Bah bah ba-ba bah

We’ll find a spot where we can lay our things
Set down the towels and start on the drinks
The lotion will make us smell like coconuts
The water is cold but we’ll quickly adjust

As we make our way further in tentative steps
Past seaweed and shells and other detritus
Soon we’ll be swimming and skimming the waves
And perfectly content with wasting the day

You will practice your backstroke, your undersea flips
I’ll grab you and kiss all the salt from your lips
And we will spend hours so happy and free
And when nature calls we’ll just piss in the sea

When the sun starts to set we’ll head back to dry land
Finish our drinks and wash off the sand
You know sometimes I cannot feel more alive
You’re the joy, you’re the joy, the greatest joy in my life
