Kamakura - The Maccabees

Drinking when you’re drunken

To chase down the evening

God that girl goes graceful

Wondering which way’s home

I heard nothing was changing

And that’s the shirt you’re wearing

No wonder no one’s noticed

That the summer’s been and gone

No one says a word

Because it breaks a heart

Submarine keep diving

Seagulls at the waste bins

Wish them all a winter

Must be rough at sea

He’s given a bloody nose to the best friend he knows

The only time he’s cried since he was seven years old

Your best friends forgive you

Your best friends forget you get old

Steaming at the corners

When the blue pulled over

Said he wanted seasons

Miss red hot October

The Black Maria

Is where he finds his honour

The darker the corner

Now the summer’s been and gone

No one says a word because it breaks her heart

The coming and the going

Blame it on the ocean

Or coastal erosion

It must be rough at sea

He’s given a bloody nose to the best friend he knows

The only time he’s cried since he was seven years old

Your best friends forgive you

Your best friends forget you get old, you get old

No one says a word

Because it breaks her heart
