Aprés Ski Lyrics - John Peel Sessions: Season 2 - Cinerama

The radio's on, it's some jazzy 60s song 

She makes him laugh out loud by trying to sing along 

But how many years has it been since she was seventeen? 

Still, she is flattered that someone so young's so keen 

And so she won't refuse, well, what's she got to lose, when she sees him glancing? 

This kind of evening could be life enhancing 

And so they talk all night until it's almost light and then it's back to his place 

Then she sees the uneasy look on his face 

A gentle breeze shakes the petals from the trees 

She says "do what you like" because boys aren't hard to please 

It's over fast, although he tries to make it last 

And then they lie and watch the sky turn overcast 

It didn't mean a thing, it's not embarrassing, it was just disappointing 

She goes back to work and all her friends are pointing 

And in a sixties song she'd go and prove them wrong but this is too confusing 

She gets what she wants but still ends up losing 

She thought she'd turn a boy into a man 

But in real life some things don't go to plan 

And so she won't refuse, well, what's she got to lose, when she sees him glancing? 

This kind of evening could be life enhancing 

And so they talk all night until it's almost light and then it's back to his place 

Then she sees the uneasy look on his face 

It didn't mean a thing, it's not embarrassing, it was just disappointing 

She goes back to work and all her friends are pointing 

And in a sixties song she'd go and prove them wrong but this is too confusing 

She gets what she wants but still ends up losing
