about

Inspired by The Byrds, prescription medication and old Harmony hairspray ads.

lyrics

He gave her up for forty days,
but soon reverted to his ways
Sometimes he comes but never stays,
It wasn’t meant to be
And through the rain-streaked window pane,
she watched him drive away again

She knew the answer there and then,
there’s more to life than me
You were the one, with cinnamon and tarragon
You can’t decide, if any kind of promise will provide

With hairspray set in harmony,
you want all the world to see
But you only have ‘til half past three,
you’ll be the death of me

As you move from place to place,
the lines get clearer on your face
Standing still at second base,
prepare to strike for home
And through the rain-streaked window pain,
I watch you walk away again
It’s never easy to explain,
the damage that you’ve done
You were the one, with vinegar and valium
You can’t decide,
if any kind of compromise is right.

With hairspray set in harmony,
you want all the world to see
But you only have ‘til half past three,
you’ll be the death of me
You’ll be the death of me
With every last and laboured breath
I know that you will be the death of me
