B-side to the Runner single, featuring slide guitar from Greg Hitchcock
lyrics
synchronised but awkward teenage couple,
slightly pale on a grey day stroll
red tiled houses and a drying pavement,
slipped together to declare their love
an aimless shuffle to the shopping centre,
an air of whimsy, sunday afternoon
their laughter carries through the quiet back streets,
banishing any thoughts inopportune
crudely etched initials never fade away from that sunday
young romance and innocence immortalised before your eyes
daylight turns to dusk
an instant shared absurd, a moment's silence,
their mirth unstifled and their shoes undone
for a minute it seems life is perfect,
he shakes his head and then moves on
and when they finally reach their destination,
a cause forgotten as they overrun
a shrug of shoulders as they keep on walking,
it doesn't matter where you go
crudely etched initials never fade away from that sunday
young romance and innocence immortalised before your eyes
daylight turns to dusk
