"How We Used To Live" by Saint Etienne

Transcribed by N. Mitchell  

A rose scented June
 A rose he pulled in June
 They're full upon the lawn
 The doctor came at dawn
 
 An old daily care
 And Suzie Banana Stand
 Through frosted windowpane
 Your father's middlename
 >From a train
 And everywhere the snow falls
 Sail away (x4)
 
 A veil (pale(?)) faded blue
 A Ruben's old curfew(?)
 One windy Winter's day
 A Windsor market day
 People say
 Everywhere the snow falls
 Sail away (x8)
 
 She's moving down the seaside
 'Cause that's where he comes from
 He gave away all of her records
 Is that where she belongs?
 
 Better think it through
 Remember who
 Is there something new?
 Or is it you again?
 
 Sail away (x12)
 
 So take your red gown
 And go down to the dam
 To do as you please
 On the streets of your town
 
 The whistling kind
 Shake it out of your mind
 It could be the day
 When you finally say
 Sail away (x6)
 On and on (x7)
 
 Sarah speaks (2 lines missing):
 Up the riverbank, land that dried up
 The causeway full of nice cars
 The sand a distant dream
 _____________ (?) ______________
 _____________ (?) ______________
 Across the riverbank
 Cross the riverbank, don't look back
 
 Background sings:
 To sail away
 And on and on
 
 Sarah sings:
 I sail, you sail
 I sail, you sail
 Do you remember how? (x4)
 Do you remember how we used to live? (x3)
