Next one in that commission series, Allo Darlin’s Let’s Go Swimming
In the middle of the summer on the west coast of Sweden
We had sandwiches in our bags waiting to be eaten
On those fallen trees sun was drifting through the leaves
And you had led me to the biggest lake that I’d ever seen, and
All of the punks in Camden could never shout about it, and
All of the hipsters in Shoreditch could never style it, and
All of the bankers in Moorgate could never buy it for you
This is simple, and it’s true
So let’s go swimming this afternoon
The water here is so clear I can see all the way to the bottom
And it’s so strange — in winter, all this will be frozen solid
I tell you it feels new to go swimming somewhere nothing can eat you, and
All of the punks in Camden could never shout about it, and
All of the hipsters in Shoreditch could never style it, and
All of the bankers in Moorgate could never buy it for you
This is simple, and it’s true
So let’s go swimming this afternoon
And down by the ocean I learned to give in
As we fall through the waves I know that this is it
The start of May on the central coast of Queensland
In a little cove where pandanus lines the sand
The water’s so salty, if we stay in too long we’ll get thirsty
But there’s beer in the Esky
All of the punks in Camden could never shout about it, and
All of the hipsters in Shoreditch could never style it, and
All of the bankers in Moorgate could never buy it for you
This is simple, and it’s true
So let’s go swimming this afternoon
