lyrics

The people here, they live to lose.
They disappear beneath the booze
and reappear in brand new shoes,
bleary-eyed and in the news; celebrities.

The cattle-grids are over-grown
and Summer's kids have almost flown-
out from the only nest they've known.
What is best was rarely shown.
Will they get-dressed on their own?
We shall see.

She lives on Serenity Mountain.
She gives me more than I know.

A big cagoule won't keep you warm.
In this old school the money's gone
and every fool knows what is wrong;
money just don't last as long as honey does.

And the honey's sweet up on that hill.
The sweethearts there are sweeter still.
If they don't care, no-one will.
I'll take you there to get your fill.
If you've got spare time to kill then come with us.

She lives on Serenity Mountain.
She gives me more than I know.

Some peace and quiet's all I need,
a little sweet serenity.
It's something I won't see.
Everybody stares at me like i'm insane.

The people here construct their lives
out of whatever best survives.
Concrete shells and Stanley knives,
manly smells and reader's wives
who rarely read.

They introduced a system here
and it induced the common fear
that learning is a bad idea,
it's turning heads away from beer.
Nothing ever was so clear or hard to see.

We'll be on Serenity Mountain.
We'll flee far from this town.
We'll live on Serenity Mountain
and we will never look down.
