lyrics

When we're with them we make time to play
A life of leisure makes things okay
At least that's how it shows for us

Make it up as we go along
Drown our thoughts in dine and song
Tricks of the heart to snow us

We beg your honor
Make room for us
Present our souls
In you we trust

We'll aspire to be (divers of the riviera)
Fan the fires at sea (divers of the riviera)

There's a beach we'll find them on
Just ask Rosemary and Tom
A side-show to spy
With boards and rings

Ignoring what's inside of us
We have diverticulitis
When the phonograph lulls
This is what we sing

We beg your honor
Make room for us
Present our souls
In you we trust

We'll aspire to be (divers of the riviera)
Fan the fires at sea (divers of the riviera)

We'll conspire to be (divers of the riviera)
Fan the fires at sea (divers of the riviera)

Two Consecutive Songs
by theydon boys

Terrific experimentation. Highly enjoyable. Moves gracefully along in an obtuse sort of way. Fun, but meditative. Skiprope Opus

JUNE
by Japanese Breakfast

Japanese Breakfast's album "June" is also definitely worth checking out. One song for every day. It's quite brilliant, really. Skiprope Opus
