This track is the account of a night spent falling in love
lyrics
Hello Platonia
Friday on Frith Street
Tunnels of concrete
Drag queens and deadbeats get down
The band starts late
I wait outside
Footsteps, fast pace, long stride
Corona
over priced
Big town
And we do nonchalance
Pile of possessions well-hidden
Synchronising by chance
Our particular rhythms
Side-step religion
I’ve got a vision of the way things could go that I try to suppress
Eyes like a prism refract the light of the street lamp
I feel my heart beat through my dress
Holes in the soles of my boots let in late summer rain
Your black rubber bottoms are new
You dance on the cobbles you’re drawing me in
Hello Platonia
Hinterhof balcony where
Vitamin vapours don’t reach us
You sign to the neighbours it’s three, three, three in the morn
Take it back to the roots, early Wailers and Toots
I don’t know what to do with my hands
Who am I? Who are you?
What’s a bad girl to do with a hat-wearing man?
Purpley haze
I’m avoiding your gaze
Having caught it a mere two days before
I wore my new jacket
Half mile from where I was born
Hello Platonia
Unfamiliar room
Our red-velvet cocoon keeps out the light and the lives of the others
It’s too late, too soon
I sleep over the covers
No I’m not high,
No I don’t like the thought of your skin against mine
No I’m not lovely, I’m trouble
I do what I want and I take what I like
Fever
All through the night
Let me hold you at least
Put my face in the cease of the skin ‘tween his jaw and his shoulder
Elegant beast settles down to her feast
I guess I‘ll be good when I’m older
Fuck it here goes
God only knows when I’ll eventually stop it
I say ‘I’m horrible’
You say ‘girl, it’s not our fault that we fit’
Hello Platonia
Someday ambrosia
I would recall twelve hours later
Replay, reduce
And put down on paper…
Hello Platonia
