From Beneath The Waves

She’s a 1980’s slit-wrist romantic with a capital R
And I’m dumbstruck, watching as she applies her make up
To Echo & The Bunnymen.
She’s twenty years too late but can’t wait
So she turns back the years with nothing more than a few wishes
And a whole lot of eyeliner.
It’s all make believe but it probably was back then
So why not make it up again?
After all, what are we if not dreamers?
Two mad, grandiose schemers
With nothing better to do on a Friday night
Than pretend we’re smack in the middle
Of our very own apocalypse!
