Speedboat Lyrics by Lloyd Cole

Speedboat Lyrics

    Julie said we drink far too much coffee
    Wine and cigarettes and we never get no sleep
    I first met them at a riverboat party
    Both of them were speeding i would say
    I lived on the edge of all this indulgence
    Taking notes and trusting in prudence
    Julie said to jim why don't we jump in
    While the water is cool and we are still friends
    Some say that they o.d.'d on leonard cohen
    Well i can see that river whenever i think about them
    The river is cruel and the water is deep and blue
    I was working then on my great unfinished novel
    "please let introduce myself my name is ronald"
    I was okay there until i lost my cool
    Now let me introduce you to the rest of the crew
    It wasn't my style to find surf in my eye
    It was much more my style to find sand in my eyes
    Though there is absolutely no truth to be discovered
    Albeit truth then is nothing to be found
    We academics are not easily discouraged
    Lloyd you know wits they come three to the pound
    Julie said to jim look at the state we're in
    It was never her intention to conclude anything
    It wasn't my style to find surf in my eye
    It was much more my style to find sand in my eyes
    It was just not my style to find surf in my eye
    It was much more my style to get sand kicked in my eyes
    Sand in my eyes
