lyrics

Old quayside philosophers and blue-rinse holograms
Reminisce about a time before kilos and grammes.
A modernist pavilion
The lido's Roman air,
And do you know the excitement of how we travelled there?

Overhead Sunbeam-power,
Take us to happy hours,
Seagulls swoop, to devour
Debris from new avowers.
Feeling live from stolen moments,
Never neutral now!

Raise your hands!
If you understand.

The ghosts of long-closed border posts and bar debaters too.
Pontificate on youthful fate and those they bid "adieu"
The fun on the funicular.
A pier-head promenade.
Oh, who was really what they seem?
How much was purse facade?

Overhead Sunbeam-power...

Raise your hands...

Raise your hands -
Up in parallel,
Raise your hands -
Ready to propel,
Raise your hands -
Oh, you might inspire
Memories
Of a fond desire.
Raise your hands -
Now the current's strong.
Raise your hands -
Let's be swept along.
Raise your hands -
To who knows where?
Raise your hands.
