lyrics

1980’s

Creatures of the ocean tide
Heat wave raging summertime 1976 to 1985
Your mother walks into the room
Cold war’s raging on the news
There’s something wrong with dad and mum
Nuclear families out control
Split that atom broken home
But we’re too late
Divorce is all the rage

Rusting cars, amphibians
Ageing stars and aliens
Sirens of the sea eat me
These childish things I cling to
In this half life
In this half light
In this half life

Cruelty of the words I find
Raging heat of summer time
Slept by the ocean
Dreamed of the sea
Washed our clothes
Washed them by the ocean side
The raging heat of summer time
The cruelty of the words I find

Chorus
Ghost dress me
Ghost dress me
Two hearts beating out of synch
Cruelty of the words I find
In this half-life fall on me
In this half life
In this half light

Creatures of the ocean tide
Two feet now on the shore but were not sure
Father hides the remote control
Press that button save us all
But were too late
He's already on his way

Rusting cars, amphibians
A house on fire and skeletons
A rich man’s ghost (charred) in every home
I found these things I found these ugly flaws

Did you too?
In this half light
Cruelty of the words I find
Raging heat of summer time

Slept by the ocean dreamed of the sea
Washed our clothes
Washed them by the ocean tide
Dried them in the summer sun
The raging heat of summertime

Chorus
Ghost dress me
Ghost help me
Two hearts beating out of synch
Two hearts beating for the sea (all to see) out of phase

In this half-light - you turned on me
Two hearts beating out synch - what would we be
Two hearts beating out synch - it’s me let me be
Ghost let me be
Ghost let me be
Ghost dress me
