Bath Towels Lyrics

Not those towels, she said

They’re not for the beach

You know, I got them on my wedding day

Anyway, it looks like rain

Are you sure you want to go out there?

And I said I didn’t know

Your whole life

Living in the echo

Holding on like a gecko

Who am I

Telling you to let go?

No, no

I’m never gonna change you

You make your own chains

Just to break through

To who knows what

Well you clearly do

I don’t know, she said

How you bear to live without

Flowers in your living room

It’s not so bad, I said

I see them when I walk outside 

Anyway I get hay fever

A swimming pool

At the guest house

Get in, then you have to get out

I did not ask for this new towel

Fading footprints

On the tiles

Words engraved on a sundial

‘Don’t waste time 

For this is what life itself is made of’
