A hazy amber sunset
descended upon a grey, grubby town
during the late Saturday afternoon traffic.

And a polystyrene lid wheeled un-wheeling-ly into a drain.
Whilst the lady in the rearview mirror looked on in disdain.

But the green light smelt of “Go”! and of Summer and of barbeques.
Warm embraces, familiar faces…
And suddenly, there was no better place to be

Than driving through a grey, grubby town
One hazy Saturday afternoon.

Song of the Day: The Sugargliders – Ahprahran

Aussie representation of the genre of late ’80s / early ’90s jingly jangly indie more often known as ‘twee pop’. I first heard this song almost twenty years ago and loved it straight away. I’ve probably posted it a couple of times over the past dozen years or so of keeping this blog, but it’s a classic, and more people need to hear it.
