about
An homage to Eric Rhomer’s 1983 coming-of-age film ‘Pauline At The Beach’.
It's about the disillusionment that often comes with growing up and seeing through the adult's charades
lyrics
Taste the sea on the tip of your tongue
She believes they’ve got it all wrong
Oh Pauline, they’re chasing after you doll
Don’t you fall
Spying through the bedroom window
Jealousy’s intentions aren’t pure
Oh Pauline, how do you see through the fog
Won’t you talk
Oh, she longs to burn for someone somewhere now
Oh, you know the tide is coming in but you are out
And you fake it
Fake it, yeah you insisted
Insisted you’ve got
Nothing to lose
Nothing to prove
Hold it
Hold it in until
You lose it
Lose yourself in
The noise of the day
With nothing to say
And nothing to stay for
Watch them blindly chasing their highs
Young enough to see the old lies
Oh Pauline, the sand will leave
A bitter taste in your mouth
(No you won’t spend the night waiting ‘round for love)
(But you’re still chasing highs, will you give them up?)
