about

despite all those stings, don't you still want to get back in the water?

lyrics

When I was three…
Down by the boat yard
They’d float in for the day
Lapping at the waters edge
Like children playing games
Speckled in the sunshine
Jewels for a king
Inviting my infant mind
To go and wade within

mmmmmmm

Cos jellyfish stings
Cover my skin
Still I don’t want to
Come out of the water NO
Jellyfish stings
Cover my skin
Still I don’t want to
Come out of the water NO

All of the times I was stung in my life
Still I don’t want to come out

When I was ten…
Her friendship would slip me
To tears of deepest blue
Still I’d cling to her contempt
Like it was made of glue
And I’d say Lavender, Lavender
Why you cut me mean?
She’d smile at me coyly
and gesture to the sea

mmmmmmm

Cos jellyfish stings
Cover my skin
Still I don’t want to
Come out of the water NO
Jellyfish stings
Cover my skin
Still I don’t want to
Come out of the water NO

All of the times I was stung in my life
Still I don’t want to come out

And at 22…
My baby would kiss me
Then tilt me to the sky
Clouds would gather up above
But I never asked him why
So low when he told me
His love was wearing thin
My tears fell in the ocean
As I went in for a swim

Cos jellyfish stings
Cover my skin
Still I don’t want to
Come out of the water NO
Jellyfish stings
Cover my skin
Still I don’t want to
Come out of the water NO

All of the times I was stung in my life
Still I don’t want to come out (x2)
