Ba-ra, ba-ra, ba-ra, ba-ra, ba-ba Ba-ra, ba-ra, ba-ra, ba-ra, ba-ba I’m moving to LA I’m going to leave behind my sins I’m shipping out today It’s where I will begin My new life I’m not going for a hit Or a California girl I’ve heard somewhere that life sucks But could she take me round the world To my new life I’m going to fly out West From sea to shining sea It worked for Cary Grant I think that it’ll work for me And my new life Ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, sha-la-la Ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, sha-la-la Ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, sha-la-la Ba, ba-ba-ba-ba I’m not going for a hit Or a California girl I’ve heard somewhere that life sucks But could she take me round the world To my new life My new life My new life

I’m not the kind of guy Who ever gets out of his depth I’m not one to go overboard And get my feet wet But I am lost at sea Storm brewing Just you and I can see Storm brewing Just you and me Lost at sea You and me Lost at sea I’ve never been the kind of guy Who even goes out in the rain I see a cloud coming to the sky And I head for home again But I am lost at sea Storm brewing Just you and I can see Storm brewing Just you and me Lost at sea You and me Lost at sea You and me Lost at sea You and me Lost at sea You and me Lost at sea You and me Lost at sea Lost

Let’s go… See you looking out the window Braid your hair and let it fall Like a knight out of an old book Got me climbing up the walls Sha-la-aah, sha-la-aah Sha-la-aah, sha-la-la-la You’re the outlaw in the desert Tilting windmills on the run Like a cowgirl in an old film Riding off into the Sun Sha-la-aah, sha-la-aah Sha-la-aah, sha-la-la-la See the light out of your window From the lighthouse, standing tall Like a sailor in an old book Can’t ignore your Siren’s call I can see, I can see your light I can hear, I can hear your call I can see, I can see your light I can hear, I can hear your call Sha-la-la, sha-la-la-aah Sha-la-la, sha-la-la-aah Sha-la-la, sha-la-la-aah Sha-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la Aah-aah

Ooh-ooh- ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh There’s Snow in Summer along the train It’s like we meet for the first time again It’s cold outside, but hot in here I feel the warmth when you are near Don’t forget, (do not forget) Don’t forget, don’t forget (inside) Don’t forget, (do not forget) Don’t forget, don’t forget (inside) Is fate the ticket for this train? I see you’ve changed your hair again We ride along the junction line Will we go our own way this time? Don’t forget, (do not forget) Don’t forget, don’t forget (inside) Don’t forget, (do not forget) Don’t forget, don’t forget (inside) It was too cold on our first date We broke the ice down on the lake I’d freeze that time there with someone Though happiness is a warm Sun Don’t forget, (do not forget) Don’t forget, don’t forget (inside) Don’t forget, (do not forget) Don’t forget, don’t forget (inside) There’s Snow in Summer along the train It’s like we meet for the first time again It’s cold outside, but hot in here I feel the warmth when you are near Don’t forget, (do not forget) Don’t forget, don’t forget (inside) Don’t forget, (do not forget) Don’t forget, don’t forget (inside) Aah-aah, aah-aah Aah-aah, aah-aah Aah-aah, aah-aah Aah-aah, aah-aah-aah

French Letters In The Sand 03:04
lyrics

Bonjour Laz J’envoie cette lettre pour te dire que ce soir d'été, lorsque j’écrivais dans le sable que je t’aimerais pour toujours, je le pensais vraiment. Tu étais la bonne personne au bon moment, mais le temps passe, et cela n’arrivera plus jamais. We went walking in the surf You grabbed my hand You’ve got a nerve It seemed so serene It felt like a dream We had the moon, our only light There were no illusions On that night It seemed so serene It felt like a dream You wrote the letters in the sand With your hands The girl from France It seemed so serene It felt like a dream The sea’s pollution on the shore I saw your face I wanted more It seemed so serene It felt like a dream We went walking in the surf You grabbed my hand You’ve got a nerve It seemed so serene It felt like a dream We had the moon, our only light There were no illusions On that night It seemed so serene It felt like a dream In the sand It’s in the sand We loved it there Lying in the sand

Where The Light Hits The Shade 03:07
lyrics

They were the best of times You were the worst some times Where the light hits the shade That’s where I draw the line Yet the Sun will still shine on you Yet the Sun will still shine on you And we were lost at sea Metaphorically Where the ship hits the sand That’s where the journey ends Yet the Sun will still shine on you Yet the Sun will still shine on you Yet the Sun will still shine on you Yet the Sun will still shine on you You’re not around, here comes a cloud You’re not around, here comes a cloud Were we the best of friends? I think it all depends Where the lines fill the page That’s where the story ends Yet the Sun will still shine on you Yet the Sun will still shine on you They were the best of times You were the worst some times Where the light hits the shade That’s where I draw the line Yet the Sun will still shine on you Yet the Sun will still shine on you Yet the Sun will still shine on you Yet the Sun will still shine on you

I last saw you near the water I last saw you near the sea There’s something happened to the ocean There’s something happened to the trees Sparks from the driftwood Threw a light on us You got me high You left me dry You got me high You left me dry I’m in out of me depth for you I last saw you near the water I last saw you near the sea There’s something happened to the ocean There’s something happened to the trees Sparks from the driftwood Threw a light on us You got me high You left me dry You got me high You left me dry I’m in over my head with you Hold the tide Can’t hold it back without you Hold the tide Can’t hold it back without you Hold the tide Can’t hold it back without you Every time I think of you My thoughts return to the deep blue

I ran from the harbour wave I ran from the highest wave A ship at sea Caught me in her wake A ship at sea Caused the waves the waves to break free I drank from the sweetest wine I swam through the highest tide A ship at sea Turned her sails to me A ship at sea Caused the waves the waves to break free Here come the waves I pray they wash the sin away Here come the waves I pray they wash the sin away Here come the waves She’s going to wash the stain away Here come the waves She’s going to wash the stain away From me Here it comes Here it comes Here it comes Here it comes Here it comes Here it comes Here it comes Here it comes

about

Spectacular seventh album from Scottish favorites Bubblegum Lemonade! Combining Surf’s Up-era Beach Boys with shoegaze, the album has a deliberate unified sound aesthetic and a narrative curve which documents a summer seaside relationship from beginning to end.

The band uses delayed guitars, crashing cymbals, and percussion tracks to emulate the sound and feel of the sea, which is central to the whole album.

Consistent with most Bubblegum Lemonade releases, the album’s title is inspired by one of lead singer Laz’ favourite films—the 1967 drama ‘To Sir, With Love’—which co-stars fellow Glaswegian pop singer, Lulu.

The idea of the new album was loosely inspired by the 1996 Eric Rohmer summer romp 'A Summer's Tale.'

‘To Surf With Love’ is the album that Bubblegum Lemonade were born to make, and the band considers this their best yet, by some distance.
