Summer Holiday 1999 Lyrics - Momus

Summer holiday 1999 

Summer holiday 1999 

Pine trees in the playgrounds 

Around the empty school 

A diary full of diagrams 

A boy, perhaps a girl 

Embarrassing confessions 

Of a strange, forbidden love 

On the cliffs above the river 

He asks himself forever 

Is there any reason not to die 

If this love I feel must always be denied?

Summer holiday 1999 

This rush to live 

Summer holiday 1999 

This wish to die 

This purity, as cold as spring snow 

In the wind on the island of Hokkaido 

Summer holiday 1999 

Summer holiday 1999 

Summer holiday 1999 

Summer holiday 1999 

I long to see your face 

From every angle all at once 

Just like the faces in a Cubist composition 

I remember in a film I saw they scanned somebody's brain 

With a machine that let you feel all his emotion 

Well I know that that was only science fiction 

But I'm dying to make you feel the way I feel

This purity, as cold as spring snow 

In the wind on the island of Hokkaido
