lyrics

You and me admire my favourite tree
On an Autumn day at Wells Next the Sea.
Take in the fumes and choke the breeze.
Strangle mother nature till she fights to breathe.
Lets stretch our legs across the peaks.
Lets take our chances on the streets and start a fight about it.

Me and you admire my favourite view;
Beside that old shipping boat at Winchley Bay.
It’s quite a way from here.
It’s half an hour by car.
Well it’s too bad ‘cause that’s too far.
But we could bike there, leave our bikes there, we could bike there.

“There is a smile of love.
There is a smile of deceit.
There is a smile of smiles.
In which these two smiles meet.

For it sticks in the hearts deep core,
And it sticks in the deep back bone.
And no smile that ever was smiled.
But only one smile alone.
That betwixt the cradle and the grave,
It only once smiled can be.”

I should have took more photos.
I wish I took more photos.
