Plimsoll Punks
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I chip through your candy coating
You're stuffed with insulation
Just strawberry ice cream floating
With a sprinkle indignation
Cherry under knot of shoestring
[?]
You're a plimsoll punk
You're a plimsoll punk
And you're getting me down, getting me down, you're getting me down
Getting me down, down, down, you're getting me down
Getting me down, getting me down, getting me down
Plimsoll punk
Your posture's blocking out any possible light
I can hardly see
This conversation spirals into a fight
I can barely breathe
Who ran from roman candles
Underneath a willow weeping
Do the tealights on your mantel
Illuminate that summer feeling
You're the seashell in my sandal
That's slicing up my heel
You're a plimsoll punk
You're a plimsoll punk
And you're getting me down, getting me down, you're getting me down
Getting me down, down, down, you're getting me down
Wrecking my brain, trying to escape, getting me down
Plimsoll punk
Plimsoll punk
Your posture's blocking out any possible light
I can no longer see
This conversation spirals into a fight
I can barely breathe
Getting me down, getting me down, you're getting me down
Getting me down, down, down, you're getting me down
Getting me down, getting me down, you're getting me down
Plimsoll punk
Plimsoll punk
Plimsoll punks
