lyrics

The sushi were delicious, he pronounces.
Drains his Amstel as he pays the bill.
Guides her to the exit where he announces
He owns a street of houses in Fearnville.

Back of the taxicab, he strokes her hand,
Talks about his trip to South Korea.
She gazes at the inlay on his ring.
Hears him shout the driver, 'You can drop us here'.

When Lynsey Bonham hits the bottom
back in her basement on her own,
she pours a glass of Californian White
and puts a record on the

Gramophone.

Lynsey brings her weary eyes to rest
on Daniel's vintage vinyl collection.
He never took them with him when he left.
Donna Summer. T-Connection.

Lynsey Bonham in her basement
dancing on the parquet on her own.
Drains a glass of Californian White
and puts a record on the

Gramophone.
