lyrics

Last week I found myself
Trapped in Hastings, out of season

The worn deckchairs
And pungent air
Heavy with decayed seaweed infusion
The scent of what we're losing

It's how everything goes
We watch everyone die
Except for those people who get to watch us die
It's Hastings out of season
Where love goes to die

Last week I found myself
Amid faded seaside glamour

The empty streets
And battered seats
Remembering with plaques who used to sit there

Last week I found myself
Surveying dated desolation

The plaster peels, we cool our heels
Spin our wheels waiting for the cancer
To relieve us of our need to answer

It's how everything goes
We watch everyone die
Except for everyone who gets to watch us die
It's just the way things go
We watch everyone die
Except for our children, who get to watch us die
And don't know why
The grim reaper just happens by
To steal away
The ones we love
Fuck that guy
Fuck that guy
It's Hastings out of season
Where love goes to die
