about

An ode to a 70's building material.

lyrics

We had a language all our own, and we’d speak it at night
when we’d talk on the tel-e-phone, eyes closed
Head thrown back and twisting the red red cord
through our fingers like it meant something..
And it meant something..

Teak veneer,
Wood-panelled afternoons in the rumpus room with the TV screaming
Teak veneer,
Hides a multitude of ugly sins, with its toothy grin,
if you run, I can meet you there.

We found a place they couldn’t find, on a kitchen bench,
hidden in plain sight, as the
Screen-door slams, I'm hanging on each breath you breathed
really hoping that it meant something,
And it meant something..

Teak veneer,
Angry voices from the upstairs room hurts the tender gloom in your seaside mansion.
Teak veneer,
You wave your hands and the sunlight danced in the motes of dust on the
on the tips of your fingers.

All that we need to do is fall asleep,
All that we need to do is fall asleep,
In that room or sweet dismembered trees

Now I walk along the empty streets, raging at the sky,
kicking at the falling leaves, half stoned,
Almost lost, and wondering if the whole damn thing
ever really meant something,
‘cos it meant something to me.

Teak veneer,
Wood-panelled afternoons in the rumpus room with the TV screaming
Teak veneer,
Hides a multitude of ugly sins, with its toothy grin,
if you run, I can meet you there.

We had a language all our own.
