lyrics

Winter boy with hands like ice falls into step beside you
And everything begins to melt, you don't love him but you try to
And winter boy has got a light, the bars are bright and crowded
I kiss you at the stroke of twelve but I don’t understand it

And spring begins to come around, the ice begins to thaw
And you don’t need a hand to hold, and it’s not Christmas anymore
And winter boy still comes round when it rains but mainly not at all
And when he does he never has the decency to call

We feel it getting colder
So we move a little closer

Summer comes as summer does, our palms too damp to touch
And winter boy’s still clinging on but I don’t think he cares that much
Cause summer drags us both outside, two strangers in plain sight
And while I attract attention he’s allergic to the light

And by autumn time and early nights he wants us to retreat
Our friends call us recluses but our mothers think it’s sweet
My winter boy still calls it love when we both stay indoors
But winter’s coming back and I don’t want him anymore

We feel it getting colder
So we move a little closer

Jo Bevan is one of the best singers in modern rock. The band is tight and talented and does some nifty post-punky style stuff. This album has some exceptional songs on it. rick-taylor
