This Afternoon |
| On the afternoon |
| That the revolution began |
| I was in a hotel pool with another kid |
| And an Australian business man |
| And nothing there would make you say |
| After all so much talk, today would be the day… |
| Nothing but an upset tray |
| Left by the pool |
| This afternoon |
| An orange cup was thrown |
| From an upstairs room |
| A cherry bomb of giddy lust, I guess |
| From a bride and groom |
| And nothing there would make you say |
| After all so much talk, today would be the day… |
| Nothing but an orange cup |
| From an upstairs room |
| This afternoon |
| I’ve spent every long summer |
| Just this way |
| Since my mother started making up their beds |
| And learning to look the other way |
| So what’s one more drunk businessman |
| Coming on to me in the shallow end? |
| Nothing there would make you say |
| After all so much talk, today would be the day… |
| Listen |
| What’s another slogan mean |
| Scrolled across my TV screen? |
| What’s another bride and groom |
| Locked up in a fancy room? |
| What’s one more drunk businessman |
| Coming on to me in the shallow end |
| This afternoon? |
