lyrics

Tom used to say it's not a day unless you pass the water tower
But we've both since moved away
There is no new landmark from which to gauge
There is no new landmark from which to gauge

Come autumn, you'll go to your safety school

Riding back from a one pound buy-in
I've been trying to stop you
Suitcase in hand, yet to pick up your key
No excuse not to follow me

Window-shopped at the furniture store
Imagined how you'd fill your floor

Come autumn, you'll go to your safety school
Come autumn, you'll go to your safety school

Was I mistaken or mislaid
In your secret summer masquerade
And I fell open, without sound
Kicked me as my ribs unwound

Hat weather's out, cap weather's in
There's much less hair, so much more skin
Spent a hundred summers on the couch
Foetal, in the lion's mouth
Home life does not prepare you for

Come autumn, you'll go to your safety school
Come autumn, you'll go to your safety school

about

Empty Pools Bristol, UK

Empty Pools formed in the halcyon days of fading summer 2011. They artfully combine elements of noise-rock with teen dream melodies, late ’70s CBGB's angularity and the jazzy, world-pop sophistication of the Thrill Jockey set.
