about

Lying back and letting go in the long grass. Inspired by Jane's Addiction's 'Summertime Rolls'. Recorded at the height of Summer, with the windows open and the sound of seagulls and coast guard helicopters drifting in....

lyrics

Button My Lip

Button my lip
And take a picture
Of all I’ve said
Or wanted to say
Speak my mind
Do my time
I really must be on my way

I’ll be rolling up in back seats
I’ll appreciate the view
I’ll be off down the casino
For what else is there to do

Button my lip
And turn away
Let my mind wander where it may
I’ve done my best
I’ve earned a rest
Let me save some for a rainy day

When I’ll be rolling up in back seats
I’ll appreciate the view
There’s a lot of world to see, my friend
Step aside, I’m coming through

Button my lip
I’ll say no more
I’ve poured my heart put on the floor
And when I’ve tried
To speak my mind
My words had all been heard
Before

So I’ll be rolling up in back seats
I’ll appreciate the view
And if you don’t understand me now
There’s no more that I can do
