Momus - Summer Holiday 1999 lyrics

Summer holiday 1999 Summer holiday 1999 Pine trees in the playgrounds Around the empty school A diary full of diagrams A boy, perhaps a girl Embarra**ing confessions Of a strange, forbidden love On the cliffs above the river He asks himself forever Is there any reason not to die If this love I feel must always be denied? Summer holiday 1999 This rush to live Summer holiday 1999 This wish to die This purity, as cold as spring snow In the wind on the island of Hokkaido Summer holiday 1999 Summer holiday 1999 Summer holiday 1999 Summer holiday 1999

I long to see your face From every angle all at once Just like the faces in a Cubist composition I remember in a film I saw they scanned somebody's brain With a machine that let you feel all his emotion Well I know that that was only science fiction But I'm dying to make you feel the way I feel Summer holiday 1999 Summer holiday 1999 Summer holiday 1999 Summer holiday 1999 Summer holiday 1999 This rush to live Summer holiday 1999 This wish to die This purity, as cold as spring snow In the wind on the island of Hokkaido
